Uncover the Treasures of Marvel Rivals' Season 0 Battle Pass
Marvel Rivals Season 0 Battle Pass Dates
The Season 0 Battle Pass will become available as soon as Marvel Rivals goes live on December 6. While there is currently no specified end date, we do have a rough idea that it will be drawing to a close in "early January 2025" as it is a pre-season with a shorter duration compared to regular seasons.
NetEase has crafted Season 0, titled 'Doom's Rise', with its own bite-sized Battle Pass. This means players will have just a few weeks to grind their way through and earn all the rewards before it's gone and Season 1 takes center stage.
Do we know how much will the Season 0 Battle Pass cost?
As of now, there is no word on the exact cost of the Season 0 Battle Pass. However, we do know that it will be cheaper than a regular season's Battle Pass. Since Season 0 runs for a shorter duration, the Battle Pass only packs roughly "half" of the content from a full season. Therefore, the developers have assured that it will be priced accordingly, with a lower entry price than usual.
We will update you here as soon as we have an exact dollar amount for all Battle Pass bundle options in Marvel Rivals.
What's in the Season 0 Battle Pass?
Leaks have revealed the first batch of rewards, but as Marvel Rivals isn't officially live yet, the full contents of the first Battle Pass remain a mystery. Thanks to a pre-release streamer event on December 3, our first look was leaked live on Twitch.
Overwatch personality Necros opened the Battle Pass very briefly on stream, revealing Page 1 of seven. Although his facecam obscured some of the goodies, we have a solid idea of what to expect. First up is the Galactic Claw nameplate, which allows players to customize their profiles. This in itself reveals a new Black Panther skin that we've never seen before, likely one available further down the track in the Battle Pass.
The big draw is an exclusive skin for The Punisher, giving him a more advanced, red-styled costume to take on his next mission. Rounding it out is a spray, along with a handful of virtual currencies. One of these currencies is speculated to be a Battle Pass-specific currency, as we also know this is up for grabs through PlayStation Plus.
Exactly what remains in the last six pages is still anyone's guess for now, but fans can certainly expect a number of additional hero skins, along with plenty of emotes, nameplates, and more currencies too. Rest assured, we'll update you here with the full list of rewards in the Season 0 Battle Pass as soon as Marvel Rivals goes live.
