How to get Marvel Rivals Galacta’s Gift rewards and Chrono Shield cards

With the latest edition of Dev Talk Vol. 14, NetEase Games commemorates the one-year anniversary of Marvel Rivals’ Closed Alpha Test by revealing exciting updates. This latest update emphasizes the immense community support that has propelled the heroic team-based PVP shooter to fascinate millions across the world.

To thank fans, the devs are bringing back the highly sought-after Season 0 Battle Pass Chronovium, which will be available from May 15 to May 29, 2025, at a discounted price of 590 Lattice. Unlike its first run, this limited-time comeback does not include any free rewards, requiring the Luxury Battle Pass to unlock all special cosmetics, including classic skins for heroes such as Loki and Scarlet Witch.

In addition to the Battle Pass return, NetEase is also bringing back the iconic Galacta’s Gift event on May 15, 2025, as a heartfelt thank you to the community and a new Chrono Shield card to change competitive gameplay. Here’s what the rewards look like.

Marvel Rivals Galacta’s Gift event rewards and how to claim them

The Galacta’s Gift event in Marvel Rivals, which begins with the May 15, 2025, update, honors the game’s one-year Closed Alpha anniversary with free goodies for players. These contain Nameplates, Sprays, Chrono Shield Cards, and a Costume Coin that can be exchanged for a debut costume from any of the 33 characters featured in Season 0.

The event, as described in the Dev Talk release, will last for a limited time but coincides with the Season 0 Battle Pass’s return until May 29, 2025. Players can acquire these rewards just by playing the game following the update. There are no specific tasks or challenges listed, implying that rewards are linked to typical gameplay actions such as completing matches.

The specific mechanics are unknown, but NetEase Games prioritized accessibility through conventional play, making it welcome for both casual and dedicated players. Furthermore, the Chrono Shield Cards are a new item that is being added to the game, which fans speculate is an item that recharges your ranked Chrono Shield to protect you from rank demotion. You can also claim these during the event by playing Rivals matches.
