Marvel Rivals players are experiencing an unexpected phenomenon - the game's servers have been overrun by twerking Venoms since the Symbiote Boogie emote launched. This perfectly-timed April Fools' release has transformed nearly every match into an impromptu dance party.

The free emote, available through NetEase's hero shooter as of April 1st, requires minimal effort to unlock. This accessibility combined with the holiday spirit has led to widespread chaos, with Venoms shaking their symbiote backsides mid-battle and players organizing full squads dedicated to the meme.

Social media platforms are flooded with clips showcasing Venom's surprisingly fluid dance moves. Some players strategically use the emote to break tension during firefights, while others coordinate entire lobbies of Venoms for synchronized twerking sessions. The community's enthusiastic embrace of this absurd addition has created exactly the viral moment everyone anticipated.

Interestingly, while marketed as an April Fools' joke, developers confirm the emote will remain available beyond the holiday. Eddie Brock's signature move appears destined to become a permanent fixture in Marvel Rivals matches for seasons to come.

Players can claim the Symbiote Boogie emote for free by participating in the limited-time Galacta's Cosmic Adventure event mode. For those looking to immortalize Venom's booty-bouncing legacy, the emote remains available for a limited period.

This isn't NetEase's first humorous addition to Marvel Rivals - the developers recently canonized a popular Moon Knight meme through another update. Speculation continues about potential Hellfire Gala storyline elements arriving in Season 2.
