A special winter celebration has been revealed for Marvel Rivals, including a limited-time game mode inspired by Splatoon.
In Jeff's Winter Splash Festival, players will control their adorable land shark in two teams competing to cover the arena with colorful snow.
The mode will be playable starting December 20, when the full celebration begins, and will bring new costumes as well as a Gallery Card customization event. Watch it all in the trailer below.
New costumes include an icy Venom, Groot decorated as a Christmas tree, and Rocket wearing a Santa hat, among others.
As for the gallery card, completing various tasks will reward players with limited-time items, including the Jeff the Land Shark: Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume and other rewards.
In more news, the game's creative director Guangyun “Guangguang” Chen confirmed to Dot Esports that cross-progression is in the works to allow players to progress freely across multiple platforms. Crossplay between PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S is already included, but progression is currently limited to each platform.
“Cross progression involves a lot of platform-specific rules, we are still analyzing how to solve it,” Chen said. “Once the team is ready, once we have it figured out, we will share it with everyone and the players will be the first to know.”
Marvel Rivals has proven to be incredibly popular since its release earlier this month. In its first weekend, 10 million players joined online.
