· A new Summer Party event has started in Marvel Rivals. This event includes various new costumes.
· The new map, 'Hellfire Bay,' can be accessed through the portal in Times Square or the event page.

· You can go into the sea on the beach map and enjoy swimming. However, you'll need the new swimming emote to go into deeper waters.
· Using Emma Frost's swimming emote allows you to float on a boat and enjoy the sea.
· Even without a swimming emote, you can enter deeper water by increasing your character's size in the 'Pym Test Kitchen.'

· You can interact with Cyclops at the bar on the beach map to receive 'Express Juice.' This runs for 3 weeks and offers up to 1,500 limited-time currency daily upon login. Unused currency will disappear after the event ends.
· By taking pictures of your character using the 'Summer Snapshot' cameras located around the map and sharing them in chat, you can earn 100 currency. This reward resets every 7 days, allowing you to earn a total of 300 currency during the event period.
· From June 28th, the 'Summer Party' live event will offer an additional 200 currency, a title, and a balloon emote.

· At the 'Summer Party' live event on June 28th, Luna Snow will perform at the disco booth.
· Participating in the event allows you to earn 200 currency, a title, and a new universal emote where balloons pop.

· In 'Pym Test Kitchen,' increase your character's size, then move to a specific cliff area.
· Change your hero to Rocket to get on top of the cliff, then change back to Angela, and then to Groot to move to the top of the map. This process might fail at first, so keep trying.
· You can go out of bounds and explore freely, but going too high can lead to death due to map limits.

· The 'Tandem Tussle' event allows you to earn up to 600 currency, the 'Tide Rivals' title, and a spray.
· You need to team up with other players and earn points by completing daily missions and challenges unlocked during the event period.
· If you don't have friends, you can participate by using other players' invite codes through the 'Enter Co-op Invite Code' button on the beach map, or by sharing your own code.

· There are two gacha events where you can obtain Emma Frost and Doctor Strange skins.
· Popping the first balloon for each hero gives you a 50% discount on the first balloon for the other hero. However, discounts on already popped balloons do not stack.
· Therefore, the maximum cost will be 3,600 currency per hero.

· A shop update on Friday at 2 AM will add new swimming emotes. These emotes can only be used in the water on the beach map.
· Each emote costs 500 currency, and an 8-emote bundle is available for 1,500 currency.
· Included emotes: Punisher Swim, Loki Boat Ride, Human Torch Swim, Mantis Float, Luna Snow Surf, Thor Boat Ride, Psylocke Butterfly Stroke, Invisible Woman Psionic Boat

· Black Panther and Storm's new duo emote, 'Head Over Heels,' is released for 600 currency.

· You can enjoy fishing through a new mini event pass. There are free and premium versions, and you can exchange coins obtained through fishing for event pass items.
· The fish you can catch have fun names and appearances like 'Magna Tuna,' 'Sibim (resembles Cyclops),' 'Phoenix Finick,' and 'Claw Fish (Wolverine themed).'
· The pass includes skin customization options and a special legendary-grade nameplate for Cloak & Dagger.

· New color variations have been added to the 'Immortal Weapon' Iron Fist skin, changing it to resemble the concept art.
· Players who own this skin will receive a new MVP screen for free. (Similar to the victory screen in the existing 'Sun Dragon Arena' map)
· The mini event pass containing the Iron Fist skin is being resold, but the price has been increased to 890 currency.
· Invisible Woman's summer skin now has options to remove her glasses or place them on her forehead.

· Previously, the explosion damage of Cyclops's ultimate could be blocked by shields, but this has been identified as a bug and fixed. Shields can no longer block the explosion damage.
· However, special shields like Magneto's bubble or Hulk's bubble will still block the damage.
· Cyclops's laser beam color has been changed to an orange hue to make it easier to distinguish between enemy and ally beams.
