Marvel Rivals Season 1: Free Skins and New Characters
NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals has kicked off Season 1: Eternal Night Falls with a surprise gift for players: free Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch skins! This exciting season, running from January 10th to April 11th, 2025, pits the Fantastic Four against Dracula in a battle for New York City.
The Fantastic Four's arrival is a major highlight. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are immediately available, with Human Torch and The Thing joining the roster in a mid-season update. Leaks suggest Human Torch will be a Duelist and The Thing a Vanguard class character.
Players can acquire the free Peni Parker (Blue Tarantula skin) and Scarlet Witch (Emporium Matron skin) cosmetics by completing in-game quests and earning Chrono Tokens. These skins are located on pages three and nine of the Season 1 battle pass, respectively. While the battle pass itself costs 990 Lattice (approximately $10), these skins are attainable without purchasing the premium version. Note that while Scarlet Witch's emote is free, her MVP animation requires the premium pass. A separate Midnight Features event also offers a free Thor skin.
Beyond the freebies, the in-game shop boasts new villainous skins for Invisible Woman (Malice) and Mister Fantastic (The Maker), adding even more customization options. With free and paid cosmetic options, along with the addition of the Fantastic Four, Marvel Rivals Season 1 is shaping up to be a hit with fans.
