Chrono Shield Cards: Statement Released by Marvel Rivals

Summary

Marvel Rivals’ new Chrono Shield Cards aren’t something you can buy. NetEase Games is kicking off this Galacta’s Gift event to mark Marvel Rivals’ one-year closed alpha anniversary. Also, get ready for a throwback with the Season 0 battle pass on May 15, but don’t blink because it won’t last long.

Okay, hold up. So, Marvel Rivals drops this news bomb about Chrono Shield Cards. I was like, "What now?" Turns out, these cards show up on May 15, along with Galacta’s Gift. Basically, they’re like those Chrono Shield Tokens. Lose a match? No biggie. These bad boys stop your rank from falling. Gamers were spooked they’d cost real cash, but nope—breathe easy, folks.

Anyhow, NetEase took to Twitter—where else?—to lay down the law: No spending money on these cards. They’re available through events, at least for now, but don’t be surprised if more ways to snatch them pop up. Only Gold rank folks or lower can use them though, which might make some players grumble, but it gives lower-ranked peeps a chance to chill and just have fun.

Anyway, the relief washed over the gaming world faster than free pizza on campus. Without the cash option, casual gamers felt a bit more welcome. I mean, who doesn’t want that?

Ah, and speaking of things not lasting, that May 15 update is bringing the Season 0 battle pass back from the dead. But this time, no free stuff. You gotta fork over 590 Lattice for the goods. So yeah, if you want in, don’t drag your feet. May 29 is the deadline. And honestly, with so much stuff happening, Marvel Rivals fans are daydreaming about what’s next.
