Marvel Rivals released the Symbiote Boogie emote today, April 1, 2025, as a chaotic April Fools' joke, sending the gaming community into a frenzy. This limited-time Easter egg, linked to the Galacta's Cosmic Adventure event, allows Venom players to twerk their way across the battlefield. It's free for those who have claimed all 24 event awards by April 4.
The hype began last week when NetEase Games previewed the emote, and now that it's available, social media is rife with videos of the symbiote's bizarre dance moves—complete with pink heart eyes—that have garnered thousands of views and reactions. Fans are describing it as the perfect blend of Marvel lunacy and Rivals flair, with others calling it the game's most memorable cosmetic ever.The emote's release has stirred more than simply laughter as it has sparked a flood of inventiveness among fans.
Venom mains are spamming Symbiote Boogie mid-match, making taunting a show, and thanking NetEase, who has finally embraced a viral meme inspired by Venom's sculpted backside. The true excitement, however, rests in reports of a new tech that players are playing with in addition to the emote that's making them win matches.Marvel Rivals players use hilarious Venom Twerk to block Doctor Strange portals in matchesIt's been only hours since the viral Symbiote Boogie emote was released in Marvel Rivals, and players are already using it in the middle of heated battles.

The user positioned themselves in the middle of the enemy portal opening and unleashed the Symbiote Boogie while shaking as Venom in front of the enemy as they tried to exit the portal. Unfortunately for the enemies, they were unsuccessful in passing through since Venom occupied most of the space. At the same time, the user's teammates kept healing them while they were trolling and preventing enemies from capturing the point in Domination.
Soon enough, the enemy Doctor Strange used their Cloak of Levitation and ult to escape the portal as the Venom's team managed to clutch the match last minute and win it for their team. Several players who saw this strat were amazed at the results as one wrote, "Imagine your booty cheeks being so fat they block off an interdimensional portal."Another one who used a similar strat said, "I hadn't realized how good Venom was at body blocking until I managed to stall a whole team from going through that rock tunnel by the second point in that convoy mission on Asgard.
I was basically a groot wall lol."While players are using the bizarre Venom emote to have fun between matches in Marvel Rivals, if you still haven't managed to unlock it, check out our guide on how to do that easily and quickly before the emote disappears..
