Marvel Rivals Season 2 is almost here, and the hype continues to grow. New skins, exclusive emotes, and upcoming livestreams are setting the stage for the season’s launch. Players have a limited window to unlock a rare emote and grab brand-new cosmetics before the official rollout begins.

Limited-Time Venom Emote in Marvel Rivals Season 2

Marvel Rivals just added the Symbiote Boogie emote, often dubbed the “Venom twerk” by fans. It’s available for a short time only—from March 31 to April 3. To unlock it, players must complete Galactus’s Cosmic Adventure and collect all 24 rewards. Since the event is time-limited, missing it might make this one of the most sought-after emotes in the game.

The path to unlock the emote is located in the left-hand menu. Players must finish specific challenges to earn each reward. Although some may find the timeline tight, especially if they haven’t started, the effort is worth the result. Many expect this emote to become a prized collectible.

Hawkeye Ronin and Thor Lord of Asgard Skins

Ahead of Marvel Rivals Season 2, two new character skins have been introduced. Hawkeye’s Ronin and Thor’s Lord of Asgard costumes both bring powerful visual upgrades and special effects.

The Hawkeye Ronin skin is legendary-tier and costs 2,200 units. It features a complete bundle with a costume, MVP animation, emote, nameplate, and spray. Inspired by The New Avengers #27 (2004), the MVP animation shows Ronin scanning the battlefield before dashing in with his katana. The full render showcases Hawkeye’s most intense look to date. This skin will be available on April 3 at 7:00 PM PDT.

Thor’s Lord of Asgard skin brings epic-level flair. Inspired by Thor #60 (1998), this skin includes a red cloak, fur accents, and golden armor. The MVP animation features Thor floating mid-air while summoning Mjolnir. The bundle, priced at 1,600 units, includes a costume, emote, nameplate, spray, and MVP animation. Unlike some other offers, this one will stay in the shop for a while.

Marvel Rivals Season 2 Livestream Event Teased by Top Creators

Content creators will showcase exclusive Marvel Rivals Season 2 content during upcoming livestreams. TimTheTatman confirmed his participation in a sponsored event happening on Friday. While he didn’t reveal specific details, he hinted at exciting surprises. Given his involvement in previous season launches, his stream is likely to include key reveals.

Miller Ross also responded to the announcement with a subtle emoji on Twitter, suggesting he knows what’s coming. Players eager to stay informed can join the official Discord server. Updates, announcements, and behind-the-scenes info often appear there first.

Pickup Bundle Exploit and Developer Action

Recently, a bug allowed some players to unlock the Pickup Bundle—which includes the Hyper Orange Venom skin—for free. The bundle normally costs $2.99. However, due to a system error, Xbox and PlayStation users could claim it without paying. Once this issue was discovered, NetEase responded quickly.

The developers sent in-game mail to affected players. It explained that the bundle and associated content would be removed due to a purchasing error. NetEase confirmed that the skin alone is worth 800 units and the total bundle value was not intended to be zero.

Although some players argued they should keep the items due to the “freebie” tag, the company pointed to the official announcement. It clearly stated that the Pickup Bundle would cost $2.99. The correction resolved confusion, though it also sparked discussion about NetEase’s ability to reverse in-game purchases. Many see the situation as a reminder to check purchase confirmations before completing in-game transactions.
