Now, without further ado, let’s get into what both of these things are about!

More about Marvel Rivals’ Giant-Size Brain Blast

Giant-Size Brain Blast is a new limited-time game mode where up to 12 players can compete in matches to earn a Brain Blast emote and epic title rewards. When players complete 10 matches in Brain Blast mode, they will earn the Brain Blast emote.

Additionally, at the end of each round of the event, title rewards will be distributed to the top 500, top 100, and top 10 players for each hero on the final leaderboard. The first round of Giant-Size Brain Blast begins on April 25, with round 2 kicking off on May 2.

  • First Round: 4/25/25 5:00 PM – 4/28/25 8:00 AM UTC+08:00
  • Second Round: 5/2/25 5:00 PM – 5/5/25 8:00 AM UTC+08:00

With the first round just around the corner, Marvel Rival players should get ready for this fun, limited-time game mode coming to the game soon!

More About Art Vision

In a new online video series, Art Vision, the visual team dives into their inspirations and foundations for designing the world of Marvel Rivals.

In the first-ever Art Vision Vol. 01 – The Genesis of Style, go behind the scenes with Art Director Dino Ma and other talented design experts to get the inside scoop on the processes for creating the interface design, artistic styles, animations, and so much more.

Given how much of Marvel Rivals‘ success stems from its impactful and memorable art style and approach to design, Art Vision Vol. 01 is a sweet treat that hopefully will answer fan questions and give us further insight into what goes into making these exciting games.

What is Marvel Rivals?

In Marvel Rivals, players can expect to choose heroes split into three distinct roles based on their unique power inclinations: Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist. They’ll be free to pick their preferred role and hero, teaming up with allies to create a versatile and dynamic lineup for battle.

In our 9/10 review, we said that “Marvel Rivals is fantastic. Everything runs smoothly with a fantastic core gameplay loop. The characters are varied and a blast to use, with a play style available for everyone and a hero they love or can fall in love with. It takes a foundation people know and makes it its own. If NetEase Games can deliver a constant stream of heroes, levels, and modes, Marvel Rivals has everything it needs to succeed.”

Marvel Rivals is available to play now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X. Stay tuned for more updates and additions to this colossally fun, action-packed game.
