Marvel Rivals Celebrates Anniversary With Galacta’s Gift Event and Season 0 Pass Return

Marvel Rivals, the popular hero shooter from NetEase Games, is celebrating the anniversary of its Closed Alpha launch with the exciting Galacta’s Gift event, set to begin on May 15. This event brings a host of rewards to players simply for playing the game, making it an enticing opportunity for both new and returning players.

Among the rewards are nameplates, sprays, Chrono Shield Cards, and the highly coveted Costume Coin. The Costume Coin allows players to unlock one of the original 33 costumes that debuted with the game in December 2024. However, it’s important to note that the Coin only unlocks the costume itself, not the full bundle that includes additional cosmetics like emotes, sprays, and nameplates. For fans who missed out on those early items, this is a great chance to add them to their collection.

In addition to the event, NetEase Games is bringing back the Season 0 battle pass for a limited time. This battle pass, which was originally available during the early days of the game, will be available for purchase from May 15 to May 29. Players can acquire it for 590 Lattice, a special promotional price. This pass includes several exclusive rewards that fans who joined the game later have been eagerly requesting. It's a limited-time offer, so those interested will need to act quickly to get their hands on the content.

Looking ahead, NetEase Games has indicated that they may bring back more battle passes in the future. However, these will be marked up by at least 20% compared to their original prices, so fans should take advantage of the current offers while they can. The developers also confirmed that any future battle pass returns would span at least two seasons, meaning players who miss the initial release will have to wait quite a while before another chance to grab those exclusive rewards.

The Galacta’s Gift event isn’t the only exciting update for Marvel Rivals. The game’s recent Season 2 update introduced Emma Frost as a new hero to the roster, expanding the ever-growing selection of playable characters. Fans are now eagerly anticipating the mid-season update, which will introduce the powerful villain Ultron. Ultron will be a Strategist character, a role that blends offensive capabilities with support skills for his allies. Leaks suggest that Ultron may have a team-up ability with Iron Man, potentially enhancing his drones to automatically target and attack nearby enemies, which could add an exciting dynamic to the game’s strategic depth.

As the game continues to evolve, players are excited about what’s to come in future updates. With the Galacta’s Gift event and the return of the Season 0 battle pass, Marvel Rivals is keeping its community engaged and providing plenty of opportunities for players to earn exclusive rewards. The game’s future looks bright, with even more content on the horizon.
