Marvel Rivals is creating a frenzy yet again by bringing back the Season 0 Battle Pass. But wait, here’s a twist. The devs have just announced that due to “popular demand,” the S0 Battle Pass was returning to the game only this time the Luxury Battle Pass would have the rewards. The cheap one? Eh- nothing. The selling dates for the pass shall be from 2:00 AM PDT on May 15, 2025, to 2:00 AM PDT on May 29, 2025. So, if you really did miss out the first time, here’s your chance to cash in.
With the announcement, a shockwave went rippling through the community as everyone tried hard to find out what this now meant for their collections. Some excitedly were shouting about finally getting that Kamen Rider Mantis skin, whereas others weren’t too thrilled. @TeslaroM3 lamented the loss of their “OG Hela skin,” while @DizzyStarrry almost went ballistic questioning whether the free Hela reward was getting vaulted.
Alright, then the drama begins. Ohhh, the drama. The replies had become a blood-stained battlefield of mingling and differing opinions. Some Players were salty about exclusiveness, with @Random_B0yo having a rant on gatekeeping cosmetics, calling for legitimized egg-throwing at anyone who flexes their rare skins. BIG ALARM FOR A FEUD! @Gerwazy____0 and @EthanWhyman22 entered into a heated debate over whether they should have exclusiveness or not in skin alpha and beta selections. And spoiler alert, it went messy.
Back onto the existence of FOMO debate; @strawberrana was out there wondering why the passes are still time-limited and not just available forever. @SaladSomethlng admitted to buying the S0 pass just to show off those “funny skins” years later. @EncyberSin likened the entire thing to Overwatch’s infamous “limited-time” scam, thus the reason why they gave up on that game. Ouch!
These days, some people are excited about finally getting Mantis skin that they missed out on and @SpectreProXy hoping that will lead to more exclusive skins returning rather than just “taking a flight and disappearing,” which is “silly.”
So, what does that mean? If you’ve been waiting for a second chance at the S0 rewards, better mark your calendar. But if you were hoping for free stuff, wipe those tears away because this is paywalled. And if you’re one of those players who wears this kind of ‘OG’ for glory, then brace for egg-related violence (according to this community).
Marvel Rival keeps fans on their toes, and it is certainly going to spark debates among gamers regarding the balance between catering to its fans and making profits. Whether it would count as a win or a loss really depends on whom you ask, but one thing’s for sure: the Battle Pass wars are nowhere close to over.
