The highly anticipated team-based shooter, Marvel Rivals, is launching globally on December 6th across multiple platforms. With the release date rapidly approaching, the developers are fueling excitement by revealing playable characters and detailing the free rewards available to players from day one. Among these rewards are Twitch Drops for Season 0, offering players a chance to earn exclusive in-game items simply by watching Marvel Rivals streams.
Marvel Rivals allows players to assemble powerful teams of Marvel Super Heroes and Villains from across the Multiverse. The official trailer showcases a diverse roster of iconic and lesser-known characters, from Wolverine to Squirrel Girl. Battles unfold in recognizable Marvel universe locations, with teams of six heroes and villains clashing to defeat Doctor Dooms from across time. The game is free-to-play, and Twitch Drops provide an additional avenue for players to acquire free content. These drops, previewed on X (formerly Twitter), can be earned by watching specific Marvel Rivals streams on Twitch.

These free Marvel Rivals items are cosmetic enhancements, allowing players to personalize their team’s appearance with unique costumes and spray tags. The Season 0 drops are available from December 6th to December 31st, giving players ample time to earn these exclusive rewards and create their dream team.
More Twitch Drop Variety Desired
While the initial Twitch Drops offer a compelling incentive to tune into Marvel Rivals streams, some fans are hoping for a wider range of character skins. The focus on Magneto, while appreciated, leaves players wanting options for other characters like Wanda, with some expressing a preference for a look closer to her MCU counterpart. The prominence of Galacta-themed items also raises questions, given the character’s apparent absence from the playable roster.
Looking Ahead to Future Drops
Considering this is only a preview, it’s highly probable that additional cosmetic drops are planned, either within Season 0 or in future updates. This would allow for a broader representation of the game’s diverse roster and potentially address fan requests for specific character skins.

Marvel Rivals launches on December 6th for PC (via Steam and Epic Games), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. PC players can pre-download the game starting December 4th. Console players, however, will need to wait until launch day to download.
