Season 1 of Marvel Rivals: Free Skins, New Characters, and Villainous Makeovers!
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 take center stage. 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 obtain the free Peni Parker (Blue Tarantula skin) and Scarlet Witch (Emporium Matron skin) outfits by completing quests and earning Chrono Tokens, without needing the premium battle pass. While the full battle pass costs 990 Lattice (approximately $10), Peni Parker's skin is on page three, featuring a striking sky blue and white design. Scarlet Witch's skin, found on page nine, boasts a crimson and purple ensemble with a cosmic 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 showcases new villainous skins for Invisible Woman (Malice – black and red with spikes) and Mister Fantastic (The Maker – dark gray and blue with a mask).
The abundance of new content in Season 1 has generated considerable excitement among Marvel Rivals fans.
