Marvel Rivals Reveals a Hilarious New Mode Coming March 7th

Oh great, as if I'm not already addicted enough to Marvel Rivals, now they're adding a new mode that's guaranteed to eat up even more of my time. And this one? This one is pure chaos in the best way possible.

NetEase Games has officially announced Clone Rumble, a brand-new mode launching on March 7 that completely flips the game's team-based, strategic approach on its head. Normally, Marvel Rivals is all about carefully balanced roles, teamwork, and smart hero pairings. Clone Rumble says, "Nah, forget all that," and instead lets every player on a team pick the exact same hero. The result? Absolute mayhem. Imagine 12 Punishers setting up turrets and blasting each other into oblivion, or a battlefield full of Jeff the Land Sharks trying to eat one another. 6 Iron Fists squaring off against 6 Black Panthers in a non-stop martial arts brawl? Yes, please. The possibilities are ridiculous—and that's exactly why this mode looks like so much fun.

This isn't the first time Marvel Rivals has shaken things up with a wild new game mode. Recent additions have included Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, where everyone played as Jeff the Land Shark in a battle to cover the map in frost, and Clash of Dancing Lions, a chaotic soccer-inspired event featuring Black Widow, Iron Fist, and Star-Lord. Doom Match turned the game into a free-for-all brawl inside the Sanctum Sanctorum. Now, Clone Rumble is joining the mix, offering what might be the most absurdly fun experience yet.

But that’s not all dropping on March 7. Players can also dive into Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure, a board-game-inspired event where you roll dice, move spaces, and earn rewards like nameplates, emotes, and even a free Black Widow skin. Plus, more free goodies are up for grabs—including a Groot skin—by completing the next set of Midnight Features quests.

With Season 1: Eternal Night Falls wrapping up and Season 2 on the horizon, Marvel Rivals is only getting bigger. And if Clone Rumble is anything to go by, it’s also getting a whole lot weirder—and I am 100% here for it.
