NetEase is giving Marvel Rivals fans what they want: a twerk emote for Venom, the team-based multiplayer shooter’s most caked-up anti-hero. The existence of Venom’s booty-popping animation comes courtesy of prolific Marvel Rivals leaker RivalsInfo.
While Venom’s throwing-it-back emote is not publicly available yet, its arrival appears imminent and may be released officially with Thursday’s patch. Truly, one can almost hear the klaxon of this dumptruck ass backing up, it feels so achingly close. The inclusion of the twerk emote is an acknowledgement from Marvel Games and NetEase that Marvel Rivals fans can’t get enough of Venom’s meaty cheeks, and that the game’s makers can thereby profit from it.
You’ll notice that the Venom in the above clip is also orange — one could argue a bold peach. That color scheme is part of a new pick-up bundle for Marvel Rivals that unlocks the “hyper orange” skin for Venom, as well as some Chrono Tokens, a costume coin, and other cosmetics. That “hyper orange” skin, like the previously released “cyan clash” color scheme, appears to be a throwback to Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which featured Venom in a variety of extremely colorful costumes.
Keep an eye peeled for Venom’s cheeky new emote, and set expectations for your next few games to go poorly as the Venoms on your teams become distracted from the objective.
