Thanos Snap? More like Thanos claps: Marvel Rivals’ April Fools’ reward is fantASStic

NetEase wants players to be the butt of this joke.

The long-awaited hidden reward in Marvel Rivals’ Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure event has sort of been revealed by NetEase Games, and it’s quite cheeky.

As part of an over-the-air update tonight (no download required), the developers of the latest hero shooter smash hit have finally revealed what’s coming to the previously unclaimable reward within the event screen. And it sure does look a whole lot like a man’s ass.

The image above can be found in the March 26 patch notes for Marvel Rivals, which has more bug fixes than anything else besides the new booty. Now all that’s left to question is, just what is it? And whose beautiful backside is this?

My money’s on some kind of twerking Easter Egg, as the muscular back, arms, and butt in question look like they belong to the Mad Titan himself who went viral back in 2019 for a fan-made edit of him throwing cheeks.

But since Thanos isn’t in the game just yet, and likely won’t be for some time, what if it’s a reference to the “America’s ass” joke from Avengers: Endgame? Who can forget Chris Evans’ Captain America taking down a variant of himself and then staring at his plump rump as the other Captain lay lifeless after their battle?

I’m weary of NetEase adding an actual twerking emote to the game, so I’m not sure what this reward actually is. Maybe it’s just a joke and not an actual emote at all, which would be disappointing for anyone looking forward to its reveal. Or maybe the whole roster is about to throw booty like they’re at the Hellfire Gala.

Either way, this new reward is definitely butt-related, as NetEase is calling it “a special April Fool’s Easter Egg gift” for those who have finished the rest of the limited-time event by unlocking every other reward. The butt silhouette will be found in-game once the update goes live.

After that, our future is unclear, other than the fact that the gift can be claimed from April 1 to 4, so you’ll have to be quick if you want to grab this ass.
