As I put my thoughts into words on March 28, I’m relieved it’s not April Fools’ Day just yet. However, NetEase has piqued my curiosity—and maybe a bit of concern—about what’s coming next. They’ve made an announcement that’s sure to raise some eyebrows in the gaming community.
In a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor, NetEase plans to introduce a Venom twerk emote to Marvel Rivals as an April Fools’ surprise. This isn’t a prank, at least according to them. In true marvel fashion, they’re channeling Venom’s playful side with the new “Symbiote Boogie” emote. Gamers can nab this curious addition by completing Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure and scoring all 24 rewards, starting 1 AM GMT/8 PM ET on April 1 to April 4.
Marvel Rivals revealed this quirky idea on Twitter and their official Discord channel, writing: “April Fools is approaching, Rivals, and the smoothest symbiote is ready to party! It’s time for your heroes to shake things up on the battlefield!”
The fun part? We’ve caught a glimpse of this emote ahead of time. Venom’s dance involves moves that might remind you of an enthusiastic piece of licorice, featuring his signature tongue antics. A user on their Discord humorously remarked, “Venom cake is huge now, Venom mains are going to spam that emote every chance they get,” capturing the sentiment of many.
As we await April 4, one question hangs in the air—are you hoping this Venom twerk isn’t just an elaborate prank? Share your thoughts with us!
