Marvel Rivals Hits 20 Million Players and Gives Fans a Free Spray
Players who wish to claim even more free cosmetics will be happy to know they can earn a free Moon Knight skin in Marvel Rivals by ending Season 0 at Gold rank or higher. Many fans feel NetEase Games has been generous with the amount of free items given to players. In addition to giving away a free Iron Man skin with the release of the game, players can earn units through challenges and achievements, which can then be used to purchase skins.
While fans are still just getting started with NetEase Games' latest title, many are already looking toward the future. The game's director recently commented on the future of role queue within Marvel Rivals and how such a feature might impact the community. Leakers have also been digging through the game's files for hints at which heroes and villains may come to the title next. So far, it looks like The Thing could be the game's next Vanguard character, though there's no way to confirm that for certain. With any and all characters coming to the game for free, many players are excited about the future of Marvel Rivals.
