Just in time for the holidays, a new event called The Winter Celebration is coming to Marvel Rivals. This will be the first full-fledged post-launch event after the Fortnite collaboration and a trailer has been released to announce all the details.
We have gathered all the information so you can read about what's coming to the game and make the necessary preparations.
Release date
The Winter Celebration event for Marvel Rivals will kick off on Thursday, December 19 at 11:00 pm PT (December 20 at 7:00 am GMT). An end date hasn't been announced so we currently don't know how long the content will stay on.
Trailer
In case you haven´t seen it, here is the event's trailer that showcases the new game mode and skins:
New mode: Jeff's Winter Splash Festival
The event will introduce a completely new mode called Jeff's Winter Splash Festival. As you can see in the trailer, this is a 4v4 mode where all players will use Jeff the Shark and go against each other in a Splatoon-like match.
For those who are unaware, Splatoon is a Nintendo-exclusive game where players must use a paint gun to mark their territory. The team with the highest percentage of territory marked with their color at the end of the match wins.
It looks like this new mode will follow the same structure, with Jeff's primary fire being able to mark the ground.
New skins
Here are all the new winter-themed skins showcased in the trailer that will be available throughout this event:
Jeff
Venom
Groot
Rocket Raccoon
Magik
The Jeff skin will be free for all players who log into the game during the game, and the others will only be available through the shop. For more about the game, you can check out our Ranked Play guide explaining everything you need to know about the competitive ladder.
