NetEase Games deployed the December 4, 2025 patch for Marvel Rivals at 09:00:00 UTC with no server downtime. Phase 2 of the first anniversary celebration brings new legendary skins, event activities, and bug fixes to the free-to-play team shooter.
The update introduces Psylocke’s Daring Daifuku and Luna Snow’s Cherry Delight costumes as part of the confectionery-themed Rivals’ Day 2025 collection. Players can participate in Van Dyne’s Grand Opening gacha event running through December 18, with the Times Square countdown celebration scheduled for December 6 at midnight UTC.
Marvel Rivals December Patch
Anniversary Phase 2 Skins, Events & Fixes
The anniversary celebration started November 27 and continues through December 17, 2025. Players logging in during the seven-day period receive 1,500 Units, while the Rivals Assemble event awards up to 600 Units for completing friend missions. The Times Square countdown and Rivals Rewind features each provide 200 Units, bringing the total available premium currency to 2,500 Units across both phases.
✨ Legendary Skin Collection
The Daring Daifuku costume features a design inspired by the Japanese confection made of mochi filled with strawberries and red bean paste. The skin includes custom color options, Ultimate Ability visual effects, and an exclusive emoji.
Van Dyne’s Grand Opening uses a balloon-popping gacha system where each attempt costs 100 Units. Players who obtain the costume early receive all remaining event items automatically. The maximum total cost is 2,400 Units if all six rewards require individual purchases.
Dec 4-18, 2025
Cherry Delight combines dark chocolate, cream, and cherry color tones in Luna Snow’s anniversary outfit. The bundle includes the legendary costume and an emoji combo package.
This skin joins the permanent shop rotation starting December 5 at 02:00:00 UTC. Custom Colors and Ultimate Ability VFX for Psylocke’s Daring Daifuku become available simultaneously, remaining in the shop until January 2, 2026 at 02:00:00 UTC.
Dec 5, 2025+
Marvel Rivals launched December 6, 2024, making the current celebration slightly ahead of the official one-year mark. NetEase extended the Marvel Zombies mode through January 16, 2026 due to player demand. The PvE event lets teams challenge the Queen of the Dead across multiple difficulty levels.
📅 Phase 2 Event Schedule
The Rivals Assemble event interface now opens directly from Times Square following optimization updates. NetEase added a Quick Copy Friend UID option in the friend list menu, reducing the steps required to coordinate with teammates and claim crew-based rewards.
🔧 Technical Updates
The December 4 patch deployed with seamless server integration requiring no maintenance window. Players can access Phase 2 content immediately upon logging in, with events running through mid-December and select shop items available until early January 2026.
Additional anniversary activities continue throughout the celebration period. The December patch documentation is available through the official patch notes, with related news coverage accessible via game update archives.
