Marvel Rivals announces new content for Christmas… and celebrates new record-breaking figures!

Marvel Rivals is becoming the end-of-year game for many people. And it has good reasons. With gameplay reminiscent of classic Overwatch and very recognizable characters, there are few reasons not to dive into the trending game. Even its monetization is quite friendly. That’s why it’s no surprise that NetEase, its development studio, is celebrating. Because the game is being a success beyond what we imagined.

Marvel Rivals is being hit harder than we imagined

As announced on Twitter, Marvel Rivals has reached 20 million players. An astonishing figure that adds to the previous impressive numbers. Marvel Rivals had managed to reach 10 million players just three days after the game’s release on December 6th, taking just over a week to double that figure.

To celebrate, they have taken the opportunity to announce the update they have decided to call Christmas Celebration. Scheduled for December 20th, this update will add new skins with a Christmas touch, a game mode where the six players of each team will be the adorable shark Jeff, in addition to some other surprises they have not yet announced. Aiming to keep the spirit of these dates not only by giving gifts but also making them something surprising and unexpected.

All this comes, moreover, almost at the same time that the game’s director, Thaddeus Sasser, talked about the success of his game and the reasons for the failure of Concord. Sony’s big bet this year. Emphasizing that the difference between their games is that they had a big brand behind them with recognizable characters like Marvel, it wouldn’t be surprising if the surprises they have in store have something to do with that. And that could mean we’ll see a new character. Playable or in the form of a cameo.

While we wait for the Christmas Celebration update to arrive, we remind you that Marvel Rivals is completely free-to-play. And it is available to play on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
