Marvel Rivals has long been associated with being an Overwatch clone. However, the developers at NetEase Games have a unique response to this claim. Marvel Rivals is not just an Overwatch clone; it is also set to become a Splatoon-like experience. A new limited-time mode called Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival is set to arrive next week, offering players a taste of Nintendo’s vibrant and family-friendly shooter series.

Winter Celebration Event: All-Jeffs-All-the-Time

The Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival is an integral part of Marvel Rivals’ upcoming Winter Celebration event, which kicks off on December 20th. In this mode, two teams of four face off as they cover a wintry map with their team’s color of Jeff’s Joyful Splash. Instead of the usual Inklings and Octolings, players will take on the role of the beloved Jeff the Land Shark and engage in a battle of shooting and spraying festive saliva to claim territory.

Costume Extravaganza

This is Marvel Rivals, after all, and there will be plenty of event-themed costumes to enjoy. Jeff will don an adorable winter coat and earmuffs, adding to his charm. Groot will transform into a Christmas tree, ready to spread holiday cheer. Magik and Rocket Raccoon will look ready to hit the slopes, adding a touch of adventure. Venom will bring perfectly iced cakes to the holiday party, making it a truly festive affair.
