Marvel Rivals Season 1: Free Skins, New Characters, and More!

NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals kicks off Season 1: Eternal Night Falls with a surprise gift for players: free Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch skins! Dracula's attack on New York City sets the stage, forcing the Fantastic Four to defend the city. The season runs from January 10th to April 11th, 2025.

This season introduces the full Fantastic Four to the game's roster. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are available at launch, with Human Torch and The Thing arriving in a mid-season update. Leaks suggest Human Torch will be a Duelist and The Thing a Vanguard.

Players can earn the free Peni Parker (Blue Tarantula skin) and Scarlet Witch (Emporium Matron skin) cosmetics by completing quests and earning Chrono Tokens, without needing the premium battle pass. While the full battle pass costs 990 Lattice (approximately $10), free rewards are plentiful. Peni Parker's skin is on page three, showcasing a striking blue and white design. Scarlet Witch's skin, found on page nine, features a crimson dress with purple accents and a unique animation. A free Scarlet Witch emote is also available, but the MVP animation requires the premium pass. A separate Midnight Features event offers a free Thor skin through quest completion.

Beyond the freebies, the in-game shop boasts new villainous skins for Invisible Woman (Malice) and Mister Fantastic (The Maker). Invisible Woman's skin is black and red with spiked detailing, while Mister Fantastic's is a dark gray and blue with a masked visage. The exciting new content has generated significant player enthusiasm.
