What to expect from the Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration event
The Winter Festival Marvel Rivals is the first winter event for the game, and it’s adding five new winter-themed skinsas well as a new game mode called Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival.
Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival appears to be a riff on Nintendo’s Splatoon series of multiplayer shooters. The trailer shows a team full of only Jeff the Land Sharks running around and using attacks to paint the map blue or pink. (There’s a meter at the top of the screen showing which team has covered more area.) We also see Jeff use the It’s Jeff Ultimate to paint an area and grab opposing Jeffs, only for another Jeff to come out and say that Jeff and all the Jeffs are in it – like a chaotic little matryoshka doll that only exists for Jeff.
As for who gets skins for this inaugural Winter Celebration, there are five characters and three themes:
The event trailer specifically calls this out Jeff the Land Shark’s Winter Celebration costume is free this year, along with some other “gifts from Jeff.” This suggests that the other four skins can probably only be purchased with units.
As for the type of missions you’ll need to complete to unlock the Jeff skin and other wintery goodies, we’ll have to wait until the event’s official launch.
