With Season 2 of Marvel Rivals in full swing, the Hellfire Gala event invites players to dive into various moments and earn exciting rewards. This event is organized into three Acts, each requiring you to complete different missions. Players who finish all the objectives may even have a say in the next Hellfire Gala theme next year.
Commencing right after the Cerebro Database event, the Hellfire Gala Moments starts on May 2, 2025, at 9 AM UTC. Expect this event to continue throughout May, likely wrapping up just before Season 2.5 kicks off on May 30, 2025. With Ultron’s upcoming appearance and a mid-season patch adjusting some characters, there’s plenty for players to explore.
What Is the Hellfire Gala Moments Event?
Celebrate Krakoa with Three Unique Events
The Hellfire Gala Moments event in Marvel Rivals is unlike previous ones, as it is organized into three distinct Acts. Previous events often had multiple parts that would unlock over time. For instance, in the Cerebro Database event, players had to wait for various character profiles to unlock, each associated with its own missions.

Marvel Rivals: Giant-Sized Brain Blast Mode Guide
Giant-Sized Brain Blast is a new game mode in Marvel Rivals, showcasing oversized heads on familiar characters and objectives to complete for unique rewards.
The Hellfire Gala Moments comprises entirely unique events, each with its own rules and missions. During this event, you complete missions and gather unique currency to achieve various objectives, unlocking exclusive rewards. You can earn special Emotes, character skins, and other cosmetics by participating in the three distinct events featured in the Hellfire Gala Moments.
As with other events, only the first Act of the Hellfire Gala Moments will likely be available to players when it launches on May 2, 2025. Details for the subsequent two Acts will be shared later.
The three Acts of the Hellfire Gala Moments event include:
- Explore Krakoa
- Hellfire Trading Company Gifts
- Gala Star Vote
Each Act features its own exclusive missions centered around unique objectives, which might encourage you to play specific characters. Just as with the Cerebro Database event requiring players to use Emma Frost, you might need to choose particular characters in matches to fulfill various goals. You can manage each Act’s missions through the “Missions” or “Events” menu in Season 2.
How to Explore Krakoa in Act 1
Discover Island Attractions for Rewards
The event’s first Act is titled “Explore Krakoa,” where players are encouraged to play matches on the new Krakoa: Hellfire Gala map across various game modes. Whether you are playing Competitive, Quick Play, or against AI, you’ll need to explore different locations on the Krakoa map during matches. By unlocking various attractions, you’ll receive light rewards.
Completing each Act in the Hellfire Gala Moments event brings you closer to unlocking the free “Patch” skin for Wolverine showcased in various Season 2 cinematics.
Since the Hellfire Gala map is used for Domination matches, there are three stages to explore for different Attractions related to the event. Finding the right landmarks may take time, but you can easily unlock Island Attractions through missions instead of having to search for specific spots. This allows you to earn postcards of these Attractions for Chrono Token currency in Marvel Rivals.
You can earn 50-80 Chrono Tokens for each Island Attraction you discover, with three available at the start of Act 1. As of now, it’s uncertain whether additional Attractions will be added as more mission objectives become available in subsequent Acts. Given that new currency systems like Chrono Tokens are harder to find, this is an excellent opportunity to collect the currency needed for cosmetics in the Season 2 Battle Pass.
How to Earn Hellfire Trading Company Gifts in Act 2
Gather Unique Currency to Unwrap Presents
The second Act of the Hellfire Gala Moments is titled “Hellfire Trading Company Gifts,” inspired by the company run by Emma Frost in the game’s storyline. In this part of the event, you will complete challenge missions to earn a unique currency called X-Coins. Unlike Units, Lattice, or Chrono Tokens, X-Coins are exclusive to this event and can’t be exchanged for anything else.
You can use X-Coins to draw various gifts, similar to card packs in trading card games. The cost of these gift packs will vary depending on the rarity of the rewards. For example, a gift priced at 50 X-Coins unlocks the “To Me, My X-Men” Emote for Emma Frost.

Why Emma Frost and Ultron Are the Perfect New Characters for Marvel Rivals
Emma Frost and Ultron have been announced as new additions to Marvel Rivals for Season 2, and they are excellent choices for the roster.
Mission challenges will be similar to previous game missions, including:
- Inflicting a specific amount of damage using a designated character
- Utilizing a specific character’s ability a set number of times
- Blocking a certain amount of damage
- Completing multiple matches
- Winning a number of matches
Given the number of X-Coins required to purchase Trading Company Gifts, it’s likely that missions for this Act will be plentiful. Similar to past events like Fortune & Colors, you may also earn other forms of currency while completing these challenges alongside X-Coins.
How to Vote for a Gala Star in Act 3
Make Sure Your Favorite Character Gets a New Skin Next Year
The final act of the Hellfire Gala Moments, titled “Gala Star Vote,” is particularly intriguing. In this part of the event, you collect Voting Tokens to decide which characters showcased the best looks at the 2025 Hellfire Gala. Like X-Coins, you will earn Voting Tokens by completing missions available once this Act is released.

With Marvel Rivals hastening its content plans, what themes and characters could we see in future seasons?
With your Voting Tokens, you can support one of the following eight characters:
- Emma Frost
- Black Panther
- Scarlet Witch
- Cloak & Dagger
- Wolverine
- Black Widow
- Bruce Banner/Hulk
- Captain America
The characters with the most votes at the end of the Hellfire Gala will receive new skins, alongside other cosmetics in next year’s event. The 2026 Hellfire Gala will introduce a new look for the character that receives the most votes during this competition. This unique player-driven contest allows everyone to cast their vote for which character deserves a fresh skin.
Progressing this part of the event requires voting; casting ten votes for any character will complete the Act and earn you the free Wolverine skin featured in the Hellfire Gala Moments.
Voting for your favorite character in the “Best Dressed” category will create your own “Gala Star,” resulting in a personalized Gallery Card. Only one character can be chosen for the Gallery Card, so carefully consider your selection. Keep in mind that with Ultron’s arrival soon, time is of the essence to make your vote count.
Completing all or part of each Act will fulfill the requirements needed to earn a free skin, similar to how the Flora Maiden costume for Mantis was earned in the Cerebro Database. Players who finish all challenges in the Hellfire Gala Moments event will receive a free Wolverine skin, showcasing one of the iconic X-Men’s stylish appearances from the comics.
