The 616 Day Vault is NetEase naming a sale after the main Marvel Comics continuity, Earth-616, and dressing it up as an annual event. It runs for exactly two weeks: June 12 to June 26: as part of the Season 8.5 mid-season update. When the timer hits zero, these skins return to the vault with no confirmed date for another appearance. That is not a marketing line. There is no "next time" on the calendar.
The 2025 edition ran for one week and brought back six bundles. This year it doubles the window and expands the roster. Progress, allegedly.
The 616 Vault is available under a dedicated "616" tab in the Store. It is not hidden. You have no excuse.
Six limited-time cosmetic bundles are confirmed returning for the Marvel Rivals Season 8.5 vault window. These are skins that were previously available for brief seasonal events and then pulled from the store. No prices have been officially published for this edition; last year's bundles ran between 1,600 and 2,200 Units, with Legendary tier costing the most. Expect the same range.

Legendary bundles include an MVP Animation and an Emote on top of the standard cosmetic set. If you play Cloak & Dagger or Winter Soldier at any meaningful rate, those are the two worth prioritizing. The rest are Epic tier: still good skins, just cheaper to miss.
Alongside the bundles, four previously vaulted event collections return during the window. These are not new: they are content from earlier seasons that new players never had access to, and returning players mostly forgot.
Complete these events if you skipped them the first time. Some award cosmetics at no Unit cost; others have store components. Check each event's own missions tab.
The Marvel Rivals vaulted cosmetics do not appear in your regular skin carousel. If you are hunting something specific, check the 616 tab directly: it will not surface on its own.
Units are the in-game currency purchasable with real money or earned via events. The Summer Festival gives up to 2,500 free before the vault closes. Factor that in before spending.
Not everything demands your wallet. The Epic tier bundles: Psylocke, Loki, Invisible Woman, Punisher: are good skins, but if you do not main those heroes they offer nothing but a nameplate collecting dust. Legendary tier bundles for characters you actively play are where the value sits.
The new-release store items (Cyclops, Magik, Phoenix bundles) have no vault deadline. They are not going anywhere June 26. Do not let FOMO about those eat your Units before you clear the limited-time window.
The 616 Vault launched for the first time in June 2025 during Season 2.5, running for exactly one week. That edition brought back Venom – Snow Symbiote, Magik – Frozen Demon, Rocket Raccoon – Wild Winter, Groot – Holiday Happiness, Hawkeye – Galactic Fangs, and Captain America – Galactic Talon. Prices ranged from 1,600 to 2,200 Units.
The 2026 edition doubles the window to two weeks and rotates in a completely different set of six bundles tied to newer seasonal events from Seasons 3 through 7. NetEase has not confirmed this will become an annual recurring fixture: which is exactly what they would say if they wanted maximum panic-buying each time it runs.
June 26, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. Mark it. There is no grace period.
No confirmed return date. Assume never and budget accordingly.
Epic tier: ~1,600 Units. Legendary tier: ~2,200 Units. Prices match last year's range.
The Summer Festival event awards up to 2,500 free Units starting June 18. Run those missions.
No. New day-one store releases are permanent. Only vault items have the deadline.
