Marvel Rivals introduces holiday event with new game mode inspired by Splatoon

NetEase Games will launch a holiday event for Marvel Rivals called "Jeff's Winter Splash Festival" on December 20, 2024. This new game mode resembles Splatoon, with players taking on the role of Jeff the Land Shark and splashing water at each other. The event will feature Christmas-themed costumes for characters like Rocket and Groot, while a new costume for Jeff, named "Cuddly Fuzzlefin," will be available for free. Other character skins will require real money to unlock. The duration of the event has not been specified, but it is expected to last into the new year. This update follows the game's recent launch and aims to engage its ten million players.
