March 7 is about to get a lot more colorful—and chaotic—for Marvel Rivals fans. In the wake of Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure, a brand-new limited-time “Clone Rumble” mode is set to rock the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda with a never-before-seen twist on 6v6 hero action. This crossover event arrives courtesy of NetEase Games, the global developer and publisher behind Marvel Rivals, aiming to fuel the game’s high-octane hero brawls with even more unpredictability and thrills.

When One Hero Isn’t Enough

Clone Rumble is a feast for players who’ve always dreamed of assembling an entire team of the same Marvel character. During each match, both teams vote to select a single hero from two possible choices. Whichever hero is chosen by the majority becomes the only playable option for that squad—meaning you could see six identical Iron Men blasting their way through the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda: Birnin T’Challa map, or a full squad of shrewd Black Widows darting across the battlefield. Traditional hero restrictions go out the window, so it’s fair to expect absolute mayhem.

The match will still demand a strategic edge, though. Even if everyone is identical, synergy and coordination remain key—particularly when capturing objectives. Whether you’re unleashing unstoppable waves of webbing as six Spider-Men, or fielding a lethal barrage of rocket fire from six Star-Lords, the outcome will hinge on which team better adapts to the all-or-nothing dynamic.

Event Schedule

• March 7 (1:00 AM PST) – March 10 (2:00 AM PDT)
• March 14 (2:00 AM PDT) – March 17 (2:00 AM PDT)
• March 21 (2:00 AM PDT) – March 24 (2:00 AM PDT)

All battles take place on the Birnin T’Challa map, where Africa’s Wakandan kingdom extends into a futuristic galaxy. This is Marvel Rivals, after all—where multiversal mash-ups and destructive arenas are par for the course.

Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure: Rewards and Challenges

This limited-time mode isn’t the only highlight of Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure. During the special event, players can grind out new tasks to score exclusive items like the Black Widow: Mrs. Barnes costume, MVP nameplates, collectible sprays, and plenty of currency. Racking up daily and weekly missions also feeds into the game’s XP system, opening the door to more in-game loot. Event participants will come across Galacta’s Power Cosmic tokens, which can be exchanged for dice used on a dynamic activity board—land on certain squares to earn even greater prizes.

Thematically, Galacta—an interstellar entity associated with the grander Marvel cosmos—captures the event’s cosmic flair. It’s just one example of how Marvel Rivals fuses comic-book lore with the robust gaming pedigree that NetEase Games brings to the table. NetEase, known for titles like Knives Out and Naraka: Bladepoint, has repeatedly shown how it can expand beloved IP into ambitious multiplayer playgrounds. Here, that philosophy translates into a synergy of lore, character authenticity, and fresh PvP mechanics.

Marvel Rivals in Brief: Roles, Team-Ups, and More

At its core, Marvel Rivals is a Super Hero Team-Based PVP Shooter that sets squads of six against each other in destructible battlegrounds from across Marvel’s Multiverse. With decades of iconic storylines to draw from, Marvel itself has long been a force in pop culture—shaping film, TV, games, and more for over 85 years. This creative powerhouse, in tandem with NetEase’s global development capabilities, yields a hero shooter with high-flying moves and a star-studded cast.

In each match, players choose from three roles that match a hero’s distinct power set:

• Vanguard – Tank-like heroes who soak damage and hold choke points
• Duelist – Mobility-focused heroes geared for quick kills
• Strategist – Tacticians whose abilities disrupt and control the battlefield

Marvel Rivals further elevates these roles with Team-Up Abilities, rewarding coordinated plays with spectacular multi-hero combos—shifting the tide of a fight in a single cataclysmic moment.

Dive into the Clone Frenzy

If you’ve been itching for a reason to rally friends for massive, Marvel-scale clashes, Clone Rumble might be your perfect opportunity. Fighting side by side with five other copies of your favorite hero offers a unique brand of chaos. And whether it’s a comedic wave of waddling MODOKs or an intimidating cluster of hulking Hulks, there’s plenty of spectacle to go around. Just don’t let your guard down, because the enemy team might be running the same strategy—only better.

Join the Adventure

For those ready to step into the Marvel universe with your squad of unstoppable duplicates, Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure runs until the end of March (in short bursts), giving everyone multiple chances to dive into the madness. NetEase’s previous successes in global markets show that they know how to keep players engaged with evolving content—and the Marvel name ensures a rotating cast of heroes and villains that rarely grows stale.

Enjoy the cosmic ride—and may the best team of clones claim victory.
