Marvel Rivals Unveils Gameplay Featuring New ‘Mrs. Barnes’ Skin for Black Widow

Gamers gearing up for the Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure in Marvel Rivals have some exciting updates to look forward to. Players can snag the new Mrs. Barnes skin for Black Widow—a freebie during this event. Plus, the action heats up with the introduction of a fresh game mode, Clone Rumble. March 6 also marks the arrival of skins for Venom and Cloak and Dagger.

Recently, NetEase Games offered a sneak peek at the gameplay and the striking Mrs. Barnes skin for Black Widow, available at no cost to participants of Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure. Marvel Rivals has taken the gaming world by storm, amassing over 40 million players since its release, praised for its responsive community interactions.

The new Clone Rumble mode promises a thrilling experience. Each team picks one hero, and players must select which of the pair they would like to embody, resulting in epic battles of duplicates. A teaser featured chaotic scenes of multiple Punishers firing from turrets. However, some fans are slightly miffed that this mode will only be accessible for limited periods during the event.

On Twitter, NetEase Games showcased the Western flair of the Mrs. Barnes costume, complete with a cowboy hat, leather chaps, and a weapons-laden belt. This unique outfit will be claimable from March 7 to April 11. During this event, players can also earn various rewards, including Units, a special emote, a nameplate, and more.

For those who crave more cosmetic enhancements, the in-game shop will unveil new skins for Venom and Cloak and Dagger on March 6 at 6 PM PST. Leaked details suggest both costumes will be of Epic rarity, valued at 1,600 Units per bundle, which come with additional goodies like a spray, emote, and MVP screen.

While fans are deep into Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, chatter about potential newcomers in Season 2 is already buzzing. There’s speculation about Blade making a dramatic entrance, given hints from Central Park’s current setup. Word has it, courtesy of leaks, that Emma Frost might soon grace the game as well. With so much content in store, anticipation runs high for NetEase Games’ next moves.
