Get ready for lots of fun and in-game rewards as the Spring Festival kicks off in Marvel Rivals on January 23.

The Winter Celebration has ended, and now Marvel Rivals looks to warm things up a bit with a Spring Festival. It arrives on January 23 with similar features to the winter event. A new mode, a gallery card customization event, and plenty of rewards are on tap.

Let's go over everything we know based on the new trailer.

The Spring Festival in Marvel Rivals is set to add a ton of content to the game. Here's what has been promised through the trailer and its description on X and YouTube:

  • Clash of Dancing Lions game mode
    • Iron First, Star-Lord, and Black Widow take to the pitch in a soccer-themed limited-time mode
  • Iron First, Star-Lord, and Black Widow receive new Dancing Lion costumes themed around the event
    • You can obtain Star-Lord's for free
  • Customize a Gallery Card, much like you did with Jeff the Shark during the Winter Celebration
  • Earn nameplates, Unites, sprays, and more as rewards throughout the event

Expect there to be challenges and missions. It will more than likely work just like the Winter Celebration did. If that's the case, you'll need to earn limited-time currency to unlock the different rewards and decorations for your Gallery Card.
