Not long after season one dropped, NetEase surprised Marvel Rivals players with another update on Jan. 22. This time around, the Spring Festival patch focuses on Lunar New Year’s celebrations.
To commemorate the holiday, Marvel Rivals has added three skins: one for Star-Lord, Black Widow, and Iron First. Players can also indulge in an innovative form of soccer and should be less annoyed by bugs, thanks to all the fixes.

When we think of the Lunar New Year, I think of glowing lanterns, fireworks, and lots of red. That’s exactly the case in Marvel Rivals, with the latest update revolving around these aspects, especially the new skins.
New game mode: Clash of Dancing Lions
Have you ever thought about playing soccer in Marvel Rivals? Yeah, we neither, but here we are. NetEase surprisingly introduced a game mode called Clash of Dancing Lions, where players can pick one of three characters receiving skins in this patch. The goal is to score as many goals as possible.
