Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 is live, and the Hellfire Gala 2026 event is currently running with a full lineup of new skins across multiple characters. The event launched in two phases starting April 23, 2026, and runs until around May 21 to May 28, 2026, so there is still time to grab everything before it closes. Here is the complete breakdown of every skin, how to get each one, and what the event structure looks like.

What Is the Hellfire Gala 2026 Event?

The Hellfire Gala 2026 is a limited-time seasonal event running during Season 7.5 in Marvel Rivals. It brings five new character skins across two launch phases, with a mix of premium shop purchases, a paid Event Pass, and at least one free reward earnable through the event. The event uses its own Event Pass system tied to Compute Power progression, separate from the main Season 7 Battle Pass.

Emma FrostGala GlamVariesFree via Event Pass / Community Vote reward

The event split across two phases means not all skins arrived at the same time. Phase 1 on April 23 brought the initial wave, while Phase 2 on April 30 expanded the available content further.

Magik: Netherworld Noble

Magik’s Netherworld Noble skin takes a dark, regal direction that suits her Limbo-ruling identity well. It is a Legendary tier skin available through the in-game shop as a standalone purchase or as part of a full bundle.

Bundle OptionItems Included
Full BundleCostume, MVP, Emote, Nameplate, Spray
Combo BundleNetherworld Noble + Alluring Ace combined

Gambit: Alluring Ace

Gambit’s Alluring Ace skin leans into his card-sharp, smooth-operator persona with a sharp gala-night look. It is an Epic tier skin and also available in a full bundle or as part of the combo option alongside Magik.

Bundle OptionItems Included
Full BundleCostume, MVP, Emote, Nameplate, Spray
Combo BundleAlluring Ace + Netherworld Noble combined

You can purchase either bundle directly through the in-game shop on your platform.

Emma Frost: Gala Glam (Free Reward)

This is the most important one to act on before the event closes. Emma Frost’s Gala Glam skin is available for free through the Hellfire Gala Event Pass, tied to the Community Vote reward system. This makes it one of the standout earnable items this season and well worth prioritising if you want to avoid spending Units.

Phoenix and Moon Knight: Premium Event Pass Skins

Phoenix: Verdant Vogue and Moon Knight: Suave Spector are both available through the Premium Event Pass tier. These are not standard shop purchases, so you need to engage with the event’s Compute Power progression system to unlock them through the Event Pass track.

Additional Hellfire Gala Cosmetics

Beyond the five character skins, the Hellfire Gala 2026 collection includes a range of supporting cosmetics. Here are the confirmed named items across the event:

Season 7.5 Context: What Changed on April 17

Season 7.5 kicked off on April 17, 2026, bringing several updates alongside the Hellfire Gala event:

  • Black Cat joined the roster as the newest playable hero
  • The season title shifted to The Hunt Is On
  • The Hellfire Gala 2026 event launched shortly after on April 23

Black Cat’s official default skin launched with the character on April 17, so that is already in the game and accessible to anyone who unlocks her.

What Is Still Coming Before Season 7.5 Ends

Several confirmed upcoming cosmetic collections are still on the way for the remainder of this season:

Disco Revolution Collection covers Magik, Namor, and Star-Lord with coordinated disco-inspired skins arriving later in the season.

Maid Collection features Deadpool: Maid-Pool and Jeff the Land Shark: Maid to Chomp, both already confirmed with full bundles including MVP, Emote, Nameplate, and Spray.

Undercover Collection brings new skins to Captain America, Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, and Iron Fist with full bundles confirmed for each character.

Cloak and Dagger: Daring Duo arrives as a dedicated bundle covering both characters with a complete cosmetic set.

How Much Time Is Left to Get the Hellfire Gala Skins?

The Hellfire Gala 2026 event ends around May 21 to May 28, 2026, which means you have roughly two weeks remaining as of now. The free Emma Frost: Gala Glam skin through the Event Pass is the most time-sensitive reward to go after first. The shop bundles for Magik and Gambit will likely disappear once the event closes, so if either character is part of your regular roster, now is the window to grab them.
