The highly anticipated Marvel Rivals has officially launched, bringing beloved Marvel characters to life in a thrilling new shooter game. Alongside its debut, the free-to-start game has partnered with Fortnite for an exciting crossover event, offering exclusive Marvel-themed rewards and attracting a wider audience.
Marvel Rivals arrived on December 6th with several launch promotions, including a free skin for a popular hero and assemble codes for in-game currency. These initiatives incentivize players to invite friends and expand the game’s user base.
This launch celebration extends to a collaboration with the massively popular Fortnite, a game that has maintained a substantial following since its 2017 release. Fortnite‘s prominent Battle Royale PvP mode aligns well with the competitive gameplay of Marvel Rivals, making this partnership a natural fit.
The Marvel Rivals x Fortnite event runs from December 6th, 2024, to January 6th, 2025, leveraging the concept of the Marvel Multiverse to seamlessly connect the two gaming worlds.
The event rewards players with the exclusive Rivaled Sailor Glider in Fortnite for completing 10 eligible Marvel Rivals matches. This glider, inspired by the prominent Season 0 icon Galatca, allows players to soar through Fortnite‘s Battle Royale mode in style.

For those not interested in Marvel Rivals, the Rivaled Sailor Glider will be available for purchase in the Fortnite in-game shop after the collaborative event concludes on January 6th, 2025. The specific release date for the glider in the Fortnite shop is yet to be announced.
