The NFL Rivals game, developed by Mythical Games, has launched its highly-anticipated Halloween event, “Monster Smash 2,” offering players a unique opportunity to engage in exciting challenges, unlock exclusive rewards, and celebrate the legendary career of NFL star Adrian Peterson. Running from October 17 to November 14, this event introduces players to a new level of gameplay and competition.
Adrian Peterson, a former NFL MVP and renowned running back, takes center stage in the Monster Smash 2 event. Players can relive Peterson’s iconic moments and unlock special editions of his card throughout the game. From logging in to claiming a free base version of his card to progressing through challenges in the Battle Pass, Peterson’s presence is felt across various aspects of NFL Rivals.
The event structure includes 40 milestones spread over four weeks, with daily and weekly challenges designed to help players earn ‘candy’ and unlock a range of rewards such as coins, gems, player cards, and training resources. The focus is on currency-collecting events during the week and player-specific Main Events on the weekends, complemented by Mythical Events that offer additional bonuses based on the version of Adrian Peterson in the player’s lineup.
Players will also encounter ten running challenges that pay homage to Peterson’s stellar career, requiring them to utilize his editions to succeed. These challenges allow players to relive memorable moments from Peterson’s time on the field, such as his game-winning touchdown against the Packers in 2008 or his record-setting 296-yard rushing game in 2007.
In addition to Peterson, the event features other NFL stars who have excelled in past October games. These players are available in packs and events, with varying rarities— 8 Legendary, 8 Epic, and up to 10 Rare. Special ‘Chase’ players, available in weekend events and the program store, offer players the chance to enhance their lineup with unique cards.
Upon completing the “Adrian Peterson Challenge,” players will receive his Rare card as the final reward, which can be used in ‘Beast Events’ to unlock higher-powered versions. The event also introduces special in-game effects and a spooky new stadium, enhancing the Halloween atmosphere and adding an element of excitement to the gameplay experience.
