What to expect from the Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration event [Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be5Err7ygLs&ab_channel=MarvelRivals] The Winter Celebration in Marvel Rivals is the first winter event for the game, and it adds five new winter-themed skins, as 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 surface area.) We also see one Jeff use the It’s Jeff ultimate to paint an area and grab opposing Jeffs, only for another Jeff to come up and ult that Jeff and all the Jeffs inside it — like a chaotic little Jeff-only matryoshka doll. As far as who is getting skins for this inaugural Winter Celebration, there are five characters and three themes: * Groot, with a Christmas tree look * Jeff the Land Shark, with a snowboarder look * Magik, with a snowboarder look * Rocket Raccoon, with a snowboarder look * Venom, with an abominable snowman look The trailer for the event specifically calls out that 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 will likely only be purchasable with Units. As far as what kinds of missions you’ll need to complete in order to unlock the Jeff skin and other winter goodies, we’ll need to wait until the event’s official launch.
