Marvel Rivals has kicked off the holiday season with a bang, introducing a major update just in time for its first anniversary and Black Friday. As of November 27th, 2025, players can experience a wave of new in-game features, fresh content, and some wallet-friendly deals that no Marvel fan should miss.

Anniversary Event & Free Rewards

Time sure flies in the Marvel universe! To celebrate one year of epic battles, the developers are rolling out an anniversary event packed with rewards. Log in during the event window and you’ll automatically receive 1,500 limited-time Units—talk about a sweet homecoming for both new and returning players.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Assemble your friends, whether they're seasoned heroes or fresh recruits, and you can snag up to 600 bonus Units along with the exclusive "Bright Future" emote. Even if you prefer going solo, there are more chances to win: Join the Times Square Rivals' Day countdown to grab 200 more Units and a special 2025 title. It’s a real Marvel-style party, and everyone’s invited!

Exclusive Skins and Battle Pass Comeback

Beyond Units, the update delivers new and returning cosmetics that let you flex your style on the battlefield. Highlights include Jeff the Land Shark’s Business Shark costume, Invisible Woman’s Disappearing Dessert, and Mister Fantastic’s Dad-tastic Reed. These are available through both free and premium upgrade tracks, so there’s something for every kind of spender.

The much-loved Season 1 Battle Pass is also back for a limited time. So, if you missed out on any Darkhold-themed goodies last year, now’s your chance to pick them up before they slip through a multiverse portal.

New Map and Game Modes

Jump into the brand-new Grand Garden map for a wild 18v18 Domination showdown. This massive map sets the stage for some seriously chaotic showdowns—perfect for showing off your squad’s skills or just having a blast with friends.
