Rivals Summer Festival Arrives!

Even Earth's Mightiest Heroes need a beach day! This summer, take a break from the Chronoverse clashes and join us at Hellfire Bay Beach for a refreshing, picture-perfect vacay! During your stay, complete festive events and exclusive missions to claim abundant FREE rewards, including Mister Fantastic - Fantastic Beach Bod costume, 2,500 Units, an exclusive Title, and more!

Massive New Social Hub: Hellfire Bay Beach

This week introduces an entirely new social map: Hellfire Bay Beach. You can access it via the Krakoan flower portal in Times Square or straight from the Rivals Summer Festival interface.

In this new hub, beyond just taking in the stunning scenery of the Krakoan beach, you can drink up some of Cyclops' X-Press Juice, enjoy Fishing, join the Tandem Tides event, take Summer Snapshots with friends, grab a Pym-ini Sandwich, and browse or purchase the brand-new Swimsuit Special costumes. Additionally, a new series of water traversal Emotes will let you play freely in the ocean, no Atlantean genetics required!

X-Press Juice

During the event, interact with Cyclops at the Hellfire Bay juice bar daily to drink his specially mixed fruit juices and claim a total of 1,500 limited-time Units.
