Marvel Rivals Van Dyne’s Grand Opening Event: What You Need to Know

The Marvel Rivals is live with its 2025 Anniversary Celebration with an exciting new event called "Van Dyne's Grand Opening." This limited-time event is different from traditional purchases, as it is not based on luck and instead combines luck with skill to give players a unique opportunity to obtain the legendary "Psylocke-Daring Daifuku" outfit as part of a complete cosmetic bundle for a reduced price.

Marvel Rivals Van Dyne’s Grand Opening Event: How the Event Works

The Marvel Rivals Van Dyne's Grand Opening Event is open from December 4 to December 18, 2025 (UTC) and players can access it on their Anniversary event page, which can be found in the Anniversary Events tab of the Anniversary page - it is decorated with balloons. There are six different colored surprise balloons available to represent the six different types of rewards.

Players reveal a surprise balloon by spending 1 unit of in-game premium currency (or Units) to pop each balloon. The total number of Unites and the cost of popping the balloons increases with the number of balloons popped.

• First pop: 100 Units
• Second pop: 200 Units
• Third pop: 300 Units
• Fourth pop: 400 Units
• Fifth pop: 600 Units
• Sixth pop: 800 Units

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ foremost objective is to get the legendary Psylocke – Daring Daifuku outfit unlocked as quickly as possible. In case luck favors you, and the skin is obtained on your first attempt, you only use up 100 Units, and all the other rewards are unlocked automatically. The last skin appearance players may need to spend up to 2,400 Units to unlock the full bundle. This kind of a high-risk, high-reward system is a combination of strategy and luck test.

Event Rewards

The rewards revolve around Psylocke’s Daring Daifuku outfit:

• Legendary Skin: Daring Daifuku Psylocke
• Cosmetics: Spray, MVP Animation, Nameplate

• Emotes & Emojis: Psylocke-themed bundles

Obtaining the legendary skin will unlock all the cosmetics that come with the set, thus making the event possibly cheaper than an individual purchase of items. Taking into account that the cost of a legendary skin is normally between 2,400 and 2,500 Units in the shop, the event is essentially an opportunity to save money.

Community Reaction

In line with expectations for gacha mechanics, opinions are divided. Some players delight in the fact that they get a premium skin at a discounted price, whereas others disparage the luck-based system as being unfair or exploitative. The debates on Reddit reflect the worries about gradual pricing and the risk of spending more than in a normal shop purchase; thus, a large number of people are uncertain about taking part in ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌it.

Still,​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Van Dyne’s Grand Opening Event is a fresh addition to the 2025 Anniversary celebrations Marvel Rivals. Players who take the risk might obtain the complete Psylocke bundle cheaply, whereas those who are unfortunate may have to pay more than usual. In any case, it is a limited-time opportunity to get some exclusive cosmetics and be part of Marvel Rivals, just like another ongoing event, such as the Marvel Rivals Rewind 2025 Event, which provides unique rewards and special ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌challenges.
