Summary
So, Marvel Rivals got some cool stuff coming up. They’re rolling out these Chrono Shield Cards with the new event, Galacta’s Gift. Oh, and that Season 0 battle pass is making a comeback from May 15 to May 29.
Chrono Shields, what a name, huh? They kick in when you lose in a Competitive match, basically saying “nope” to losing points. How handy is that?
Marvel Rivals is doing this thing, again, like they do. Introducing some new gizmo called Chrono Shield Cards with their whole Galacta’s Gift event, happening May 15. Yeah, that’s right around the corner. Everyone’s pretty hyped, kinda like a kid on Christmas Eve. Why? Well, because these updates usually have some juicy stuff, and this time it’s Ultron. Yes, that Ultron from the comics with the sassy attitude—joining the game’s ranks. Pretty epic addition, if you ask me.
And here’s the what’s what—the big game boss, NetEase, decided to bring back the Season 0 battle pass. From May 15 to 29, you can snag it, but yeah, you gotta pay. 590 Lattice it costs, no freebie path this time around. It’s like they’re saying, “Nah, you gotta cough up some dough if you wanna play with the cool toys.”
Saw something interesting on my feed, NetEase Games dropped a little teaser on Twitter, a video of all things—what’s about to go down with the Galacta’s Gift event. They’re mixing things up with these Chrono Shield Cards. Like, if you lose in Competitive, these cards pop up and say, "Hey, you don’t lose points today!” But, heads up, they reset at season’s end. So, no hoarding.
And, you know, people are buzzing. Players have been itching for something like this ’cause, let’s be real, ranked play can be brutal. Imagine losing ’cause someone dropped the ball, literally. This isn’t a full-on fix, but it does help lick those wounds from a bad loss.
Guess what else? They’ve cooked up some fresh skins for The Punisher and Namor, hitting the spotlight May 15 at 7 PM PDT. No word on the price yet—typical. What’s caught everybody’s eye is the new Punisher skin, the Dangan Ronin, crafted by Peach Momoko. Been ages since the dude saw a new look, and fans are excited like they just heard a new song from their favorite band.
With all these updates looming, everyone’s pretty optimistic. The Marvel Rivals’ future seems shiny, doesn’t it?
