NetEase is officially adding brainrot to Marvel Rivals! And no, this isn’t satire.
The developers behind the popular hero shooter have confirmed that Jeff the Land Shark is getting an emote called “Jeff’s New Kicks” with the game’s June 19 update. Taking a glance at the emote, it’s evident that it’s a cheeky homage to the viral Tralalero Tralala meme.
For the uninitiated, ‘Tralalero Tralala’ is an AI-generated meme which is often associated with the chaotic charm of Italian brainrot content online.
Alongside this emote, the update is also set to introduce a new pink Venom skin that players will be able to obtain by participating in the Venom’s Bubble Pop event. The event will require players to complete a series of missions to add some cosmetics to their collection.
Note that you’ll need to spend a little extra if you’re eyeing the premium cosmetics. The Pink Bubble Venom costume emote can only be obtained by purchasing the premium version of the event pass. If you’re an F2P player, you’ll still be able to access the Future Foundation Human Torch skin and the Jeff’s New Kicks emote without spending a dime.
If in-game cosmetics aren’t your thing, then you’d be happy to know that the June 19 Marvel Rivals update will also bring with it a balance patch focusing on nerfing the overpowered characters while providing buffs to the less-picked ones. A number of team-up abilities are also seeing some minor tweaks.
Fans can check out the balance notes by heading over to the official Marvel Rivals website.
