Venom Joins Marvel Rivals Roster

The long-awaited Venom twerk emote has arrived in Marvel Rivals, and predictably, matches are now overflowing with dancing symbiotes.

April Fools' Chaos Ensues

Players logging into NetEase's hero shooter today are immediately greeted by Venoms showcasing their signature moves. This perfectly timed April 1st release has become an instant sensation, with the free-to-acquire emote sparking hilarious matches across the player base.

Social media platforms are flooded with clips showcasing Venom's unexpected dance skills. While some players use it as a momentary battle distraction, others have organized full Venom dance crews turning matches into impromptu dance parties.

Though launched as an April Fools' joke for 2025, developers confirm the emote will remain permanently. Even players who haven't claimed the free emote are gathering just to witness Eddie Brock's impressive moves.
