Marvel Rivals has announced that it will be bringing back the Season 0 battle pass for a limited time from May 15 through May 29, which has surprised and delighted a large portion of the community. Season 2 of Marvel Rivals is well underway, and many players are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the villain Ultron as a playable character. While there's no release date for the villain yet, he is confirmed to be a Strategist that will appear alongside a major mid-season update.
NetEase Games recently announced that it would be celebrating the one-year anniversary of the popular hero shooter's Closed Alpha by releasing the Galacta's Gift event in Marvel Rivals on May 15. The event will give players the ability to earn rewards just by playing the game, which will include nameplates, sprays, a Costume Coin, and more. Many fans seem to be most excited about the Costume Coin, as it will allow them to claim one of the game's original 33 skins for free. A large portion of the community has praised NetEase Games for giving them access to so many free skins since its launch in December 2024.
Marvel Rivals Players Want a Major Change Made to Ranked Matches
Marvel Rivals players come together to express their displeasure with the state of ranked play in NetEase Games' popular hero shooter.
In addition to releasing the Galacta's Gift event, NetEase Games announced that it would be bringing back the Season 0 battle pass, though its return will be a little different. The Season 0 battle pass won't offer any free rewards for players, which means gamers who want to claim anything from the pass will need to purchase it for 590 Lattice. The developers claimed that the decision was made after a large portion of the community asked them to bring back skins from the battle pass. NetEase Games also stated that it might bring back old battle passes periodically, though they will cost more than their initial debut.
Marvel Rivals Releasing the Season 0 Battle Pass Again
While reactions to the return of Marvel Rivals' Season 0 battle pass have been largely positive, some players have expressed disappointment. One player stated that the return of the battle pass was "deceptive," as they believed the skins would be exclusive to Season 0. The prominent Marvel Rivals leaker RivalsLeaks made a post on Twitter asking gamers not to purchase the Season 0 battle pass if they respect OG players. While some people took their comment seriously, many people believe it was a satirical statement calling back to when Fortnite brought back Renegade Raider, which was one of the battle royale's rarest skins.
NetEase Games will also be releasing new skins for Marvel Rivals' Namor and The Punisher on May 15, giving players even more cosmetic options for the popular Duelists. With so much content just around the corner and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
