has announced that players can claim the Venom twerk emote from April 1. The announcement quickly went viral among Marvel Rivals players, who are delighted that the developers have added the unexpected reward.

Venom is a much-loved character among comic book fans, and it's no different among players of the NetEase shooter. The Marvel Rivals Vanguard stands out for having durability, high mobility, and enough crowd control to jump into the enemy backline and cause chaos. Another reason the symbiote draws attention is its physical attributes, a recurring topic of jokes within the community. Surprising Marvel Rivals players, the development team approached this aspect of the character with a surprise.

With the release of Version 20250327, Marvel Rivals has announced that players can obtain the Venom twerk emote as part of Galacta's Cosmic Adventure event. The emote will be available from April 1 to 4, and to claim it players will first need to have collected all the rewards from the event. Galacta's Cosmic Adventure began on March 7, giving players a series of challenges to complete and advance on a board to unlock rewards. The event will end on April 11, meaning players still have time to get the freebies, including the new Black Widow skin.

The announcement of the Venom twerk emote quickly went viral on social media, with players in disbelief that the Marvel Rivals developers had added it. The reactions became even more humorous when Twitter profiles like RivalsInfo leaked a video showing how the emote works in-game. Players still don't know if NetEase will release other April Fool's Day-themed items, such as skins and emotes, or even an event dedicated to the date. However, the unveiling of this fun emote for the famous Marvel symbiote opens the door to this possibility.

While the Venom twerk emote has become the new hot topic among players, this isn't the only character-related announcement made recently. With the release of the Marvel Rivals March 27 update, the Pick-Up bundle was launched, which can be purchased for $2.99. This bundle comes with seven rewards that players unlock every three matches played, including Chrono Tokens, a nameplate, spray, and a custom coin, which can be exchanged for a skin. The biggest reward in the new bundle is the Hyper Orange skin, which gives Venom an appearance very similar to the character's colors in the Marvel vs Capcom series.
