Get Star-Lord’s Spring Festival Costume for Free in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals is set to launch an exciting new event titled The Spring Festival, featuring an exclusive free skin for Star-Lord. You might wonder why this event is taking place so early in the year. The timing is designed to coincide with the Lunar New Year, known as Spring Festival in China. In an effort to differentiate itself from Overwatch, which has a similar event, Marvel Rivals opted for a distinct name.

The Spring Festival will introduce a new limited-time game mode reminiscent of Overwatch’s Lucio Ball, where teams consisting of three players will compete against each other. The heroes participating in this mode will be Star-Lord, Black Widow, and Iron Fist, each receiving new skins during this event. Notably, Star-Lord’s lion-themed costume will be available for free, while the other heroes’ skins may require additional effort or purchases.

Star-Lord’s captivating new skin features a lion-shaped mask complemented by a flowing blonde mane. His outfit includes a stylish fur-lined jacket adorned with fluffy accents on his weapons. To obtain this exclusive appearance, players must engage in the Spring Festival Event and accomplish a series of challenges.

Details about the specific tasks required to earn the skin have yet to be disclosed; however, they are expected to function similarly to past events, like the Winter Festival. Traditionally, players have had to complete themed missions and gather a special in-game currency to unlock rewards. To successfully unlock Star-Lord’s new look, players should be ready to participate in the new soccer-inspired game mode while fulfilling certain associated objectives.

The much-anticipated Marvel Rivals Spring Festival event is set to launch on January 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM UTC. For players in different time zones, this translates to 4:00 AM ET or 1:00 AM PT. The event kicks off just one day after this year’s Lunar New Year, which falls on January 22, 2023. There is currently no official end date announced for the event.

As Marvel Rivals continues to draw inspiration from Overwatch, this Spring Festival may evolve into an annual celebration. Players hoping for fresh skins who may not resonate with the current offerings can anticipate more exciting developments in future events. In addition to Star-Lord’s skin, Marvel Rivals is also preparing to unveil a new Spider-Man skin, timed to coincide with the PC release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on January 30, 2025.
