NetEase has exciting news for Marvel Rivals fans as they introduce a fresh limited-time game mode called Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival. The Winter Celebration event, set to launch on December 20, will be featuring a 4v4 gameplay resembling Splatoon, with Jeff the Land Shark as the central character. Players will engage in a colorful turf war to claim victory by covering the wintry landscape in their team’s designated color.

In addition to the new game mode, Marvel Rivals enthusiasts can also anticipate the arrival of winter-themed skins for five beloved heroes, including the spotlight character Jeff, along with Magik, Venom, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. While Jeff’s festive attire is claimable for free during the event, the other exclusive skins will likely be available through in-game stores.

Players can look forward to special surprises, including a “winter greeting card with gifts from Jeff,” upon the update’s release later this week. Marvel Rivals, which recently made its debut on PC and consoles, has been making waves in the gaming community with over 444,000 concurrent players on Steam during its launch day. For newcomers to the hero shooter title, redeemable Marvel Rivals codes for December 2024 are up for grabs.
