Marvel Rivals continues to engage players with its bright roster and eye-catching cosmetics, where players enjoy the game’s offerings with free skins. The Season 2 Hellfire Gala event sparked a surge of enthusiasm with the Gala Star Vote, a community-driven contest that allowed players to vote for their favorite character to receive a magnificent new skin for free.
Inspired by the X-Men’s fabled Hellfire Gala, this event encouraged players to spend Voting Tokens to heroes such as Wolverine, Scarlet Witch, Cloak & Dagger, and Emma Frost, with the winner receiving a unique costume in 2026. Additional free skins, such as Scarlet Witch’s Chaos Gown (won after nine bouts) and Mantis’ Flora Maiden (via the Cerebro Database event), sweeten the deal, making Season 2 a must-see for cosmetic fans.
However, NetEase has now revealed the winner of the Hellfire Gala Vote, who will receive a free skin in next year’s event, as players will be able to claim it similarly to Wolverine’s Patch skin in this year’s Hellfire Gala.
Marvel Rivals announces Emma Frost to get free skin in next year’s Hellfire Gala event
Marvel Rivals has announced that Emma Frost, the iconic White Queen, would receive a free Hellfire Gala-themed skin for next year’s event, following her triumph in the 2025 Gala Star Vote. Emma Frost, revealed on May 31, 2025, via the official Marvel Rivals social media, outperformed competitors such as Wolverine and Scarlet Witch, claiming the top rank with her elegance and diamond-cut domination.
The skin, slated to be released in 2026, promises to reflect the grandeur of the Hellfire Gala, albeit its design is unknown. Fans are both excited and annoyed by the year-long wait, with some expressing displeasure and others disputing the decision, citing Emma’s contentious ensembles like the X-Revolution skin.
Despite varied reactions, the free skin demonstrates NetEase’s dedication to engaging gamers through community-driven events such as the Gala Star Vote. As Marvel Rivals evolves with new characters, maps, and seasonal enhancements, fans eagerly await Emma Frost’s next stunning appearance. The Hellfire Gala is set to remain a highlight, with expectations that additional X-Men characters, like as Cyclops, will attend.
