Marvel Games, Marvel ComicsOne Marvel Rivals theory suggests the event board for Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure is hiding a brand-new map reveal.
Marvel Rivals players joined Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure on March 7, with the event slated to last until April 11. Throughout the event, users can explore the Cosmic Rumble mode and unlock free rewards, one being Black Widow’s “Mrs. Barnes” costume.
Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure also comes with a game board that tasks players with completing missions and rolling dice to unlock certain rewards.
Notably, a hovering rock with a question mark emblazed across it occupies the center of the board. Developer NetEase will reveal whatever the question mark hides before the Galacta event ends, but some players think they’ve already figured it out.
Marvel Rivals event may be teasing an X-Men map
One user in the game’s subreddit shared their theory that the big reveal for the Galacta event will revolve around the unveiling of a brand-new map.
In replies to the post, the original poster explained, “…my theory is that we are gonna get a new map, probably krakoa?”
This thinking hasn’t spawned out of thin air. One hint is the fact that event participants can unlock the Damaged Cerebro Spray, an item modeled after a version of the Cerebro helmet that Profressor X first donned during X-Men’s Krakoa era.
Another user in the thread noted that dialogue delievered by Magneto, Scarlet Witch, and Wolverine also support this theory, since they each have said “lines mentioning or connecting to Krakoa since the game released.”

On its own, these supposed hints seem tenuous at best; however, they constitute the latest in a long line of X-Men-related references.
For instance, dataminer X0XLEAK previously discovered game files suggesting NetEase may be working on Savage Land and Mojo World maps for Marvel Rivals.
The hero shooter’s second season will kick off on April 11, so the wait to find out what the developers have planned won’t last for much longer.
