After a long run, Marvel Rivals is on the way back to SDCC to give us more for Marvel Rivals and some extras for fans
Many of us learned about Marvel Rivals at SDCC last year and at SDCC where they gave out a bunch of fun little beta codes to let some of us have a shot at the game. If you have been following along here since then, you might have had a chance to play with us and have one of those codes. Here we are at year two since launch, and many seasons since, and NetEase Games is on the way back to SDCC 2025 to offer up more to those still playing the game and more. In all the various forms of panels, gameplay, voice cast meetings, and various other giveaways are going down for the con. So, if you can put down the controllers for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC long enough to make it on out, you might have a shot at walking away with extra fun you did not think you would ever get.
Just as with many of the things for SDCC, you will only need a badge to go into the specific Marvel Rivals panel. One where you will get to meet some of the voice cast and learn a few more things about the game, and maybe a few things for the future. That will not be the only chance, though, as Marvel Rivals will be taking over a good portion of the Marriott Marquis to offer fans more signings, meetings, and those exclusive Nameplate Keychains. A new one each day, so you will have many reasons to swing by. Moreover, if you want to snag a special swimsuit poster of the characters and have the voice cast sign them during the convention. All of the specific times and dates are listed below so you can best plan out your week of SDCC fun with Marvel Rivals.
