What are the current and Marvel Rivals events? There is an entire multiverse worth of story going on in Marvel Rivals, with everything happening everywhere all at once; stopping Spider Zero from pushing the cart is only good enough until the next round starts, and we know that those screaming goats will be back, win or lose. Luckily, there are story events that have a fixed start and end point, and even better, they come with a ton of rewards.
Now in Season 2 of the Marvel Rivals characters, and even cash prizes depending on whether your competitive cogs are turning.

The Flower of Krakoa battle promises glitz and glamor galore, as the denizens of the multiverse doll themselves up for the Hellfire Gala. But you won’t only find dressed-up versions of Luna Snow and Cloak & Dagger in here, as the Japanese-themed Spider-Oni – an instant inductee into our best Marvel Rivals skins list – and X-Uniform-clad Psylocke and Magik also feature. The latter is giving massive My Hero Academia All Might vibes, and we’re so here for it.
Cerebro Database

It’s bingo time, compadres, as the Cerebro Database event has you completing missions to form lines in a 3×3 grid. Should you get a full house of all four event sections, a swanky Flora Maiden Mantis skin is in it for you.
Play Matches, Earn Rewards

Midnight Features II
The Midnight Features II event ran from February 21, 2025, to March 21, 2025.

Fortune & Colors
The Fortune & Colors event ran from January 23, 2025, to February 14, 2025.
Lunar New Year celebrations were in full flow, and the Fortune & Colors event had you earn paint from the limited-time game mode, Clash of Dancing Lions (a Lucioball-like), that could subsequently be used to complete the illustration.
Showing off your sporting prowess yielded currency, cosmetics, and a fur-ocious new Star-Lord skin. Or is it Star-Lion?
Midnight Features
The first Midnight Features event ran from January 10, 2025, to February 7, 2025.
With a Draculean invasion on our hands, business is booming for the Daily Bugle. Midnight Features Part One followed the same format as Season 0’s Entangled Moments in that you had to clear chapter-based missions, with new chapters opening up every couple of days.
In return for your efforts, you were rewarded with currency, Gallery Cards, and even a fresh new Thor skin.
Winter Celebration
The Winter Celebration event ran until Thursday, January 5, 2025. During the event, you could take part in a special Splatoon-esque game mode called ‘Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival.’ This had teams of Jeffs battling to decorate the Rivals maps with their colored spray – chaos ensued.
You could also pick up new costumes for Groot, Magik, Rocket, Venom, and Jeff himself. Best of all, Jeff’s could be earned by gathering Golden Frost from missions and decorating the tree on your Winter Celebration Card, so it didn’t cost you a penny. His lil snowsuit features on our list of the best Marvel Rival skins, so we were festively feasting.
Entangled Moments
Entangled Moments was the main Marvel Rivals event for Season 0, and ran until Thursday, January 2, 2025. During the event, you had to complete specific missions set by each of the five event tiles to unlock each one’s story beat and Gallery Card.
