NetEase Games is set to roll out an exciting new game mode, “Giant-Size Brain Blast,” for Marvel Rivals, scheduled for April 25th. Fans are eagerly anticipating this latest addition, especially following the release of Season 2, which introduced new characters like Vanguard Emma Frost and will soon feature the notorious villain, Ultron, in its upcoming 2.5 update.
However, not all updates have been warmly received. The introduction of costume customization sparked some controversy within the community. While initially met with enthusiasm, the realization that these customizations required real money dampened spirits. To get these new looks, players must spend 600 Unstable Molecules—accessible only by exchanging Lattice, a premium currency, effectively pricing each new outfit around $6.
Let’s shift gears to a fun announcement. There’s a playful trailer showcasing the new Giant-Size Brain Blast mode. Picture this: Marvel icons such as Captain America, Spider-Man, Loki, Moon Knight, and Venom, all sporting oversized bobble-heads, diving into battles with an entertaining and whimsical flair. The trailer captures the hilarity of these bouncy, animated figures head-to-head, delivering an experience that’s as amusing as it is unique.
You’ll want to dive into this mode starting April 25th, not only for the fun but also for a chance to snag some exclusive in-game titles and a quirky emote. Timelines on when the event wraps up haven’t been released yet, so be sure to join in right away. The format marks a departure from more traditional modes, like Clone Rumble, where identical heroes clashed, offering instead a purely visual delight without altering the core gameplay.
In addition, April 24th at 7 PM PDT marks the arrival of striking new skins for Loki and Hela, crafted with inspiration from the iconic Kirisaki Mountain. Featuring traditional Japanese elements, these costumes boast vibrant white and green palettes, offering fans another reason to dive back into the game. With these exciting updates, players have plenty to look forward to in Marvel Rivals, igniting anticipation for future developments in the game.
