Marvel Rivals continues to delight its growing player base with the Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure event, which debuted on March 7, 2025. This limited-time event, which runs until April 11, involves players rolling dice on a cosmic board to receive rare rewards such as the coveted Mrs. Barnes Black Widow skin, Units, sprays, and nameplates.

By accomplishing challenges in the chaotic Clone Rumble mode, players can gather Galacta’s Power Cosmic—30 of which grant a dice roll—to traverse the board and grab up to 24 unique items. The event’s board game-inspired structure has kept fans interested, providing a refreshing twist on the game’s live-service model while keeping the promise of free heroes and maps for everybody.

The latest patch notes, which will be released on March 27, 2025, tease an interesting addition: a secret April Fool’s Easter egg present. This hidden surprise will only be available to individuals who have claimed all of Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure rewards from April 1 to April 4. The community is rife with speculation as it could be a new skin, a quirky emote, or perhaps a hint to Season 2 content. On the other hand, most fans have already decrypted it and it’s something beyond you can imagine.

Marvel Rivals Easter egg fuels speculation about ‘Twerking Venom’ emote

As Marvel Rivals Season 1 nears its close, the new patch is generating excitement—and some hilarity—with the hint of a “Twerking Venom” emote, which will be released as an April Fool’s Easter egg reward on April 1, 2025.

The hint appeared in the March 27 patch notes, which featured a silhouette of Venom with exaggeratedly big glutes, fueling suspicion. This isn’t just a random jest, as it’s a reference to a long-running community joke that has circulated since the game’s inception, with gamers asking for a lighthearted Venom dance based on his “caked up” appearance. While some feel it’s a clever April Fool’s prank, others believe it’s a true addition to Venom’s armory, especially after his recent improvements confirmed him as a meta-relevant Vanguard.

Fans are joking on social media about Venom “shaking it” mid-match, possibly in a Symbiote Bond team-up with Spider-Man or Peni Parker. One such fan wrote, “They finally gave the people what they want!” Another chimed in, “As a Venom main, I am thrilled.”

Whether real or a troll, the emote fits Marvel Rivals’ style of combining Marvel’s renowned charm with playful flair. Check out more content coming with the update, including hero fixes that improve gameplay.
