NFL Rivals announces Adrian Peterson for ‘Monster Smash 2’
The NFL announced that former NFL MVP and legendary running back Adrian Peterson would star in the first such Halloween event. The event, which started on the 17th, will allow players to compete for rewards by completing challenges on the gridiron. Every weekend, Monster Smash 2 will have player-specific ‘Main Events.’ Adrian Peterson is set to feature in both the event’s challenges and its rewards, with multiple editions being given during different stages of the Halloween-themed event.
In some of the challenges, players can re-enact some of the biggest moments in the former MVP running back’s career. The event will include 10 running challenges where they can either opt to replicate Peterson’s achievements on the field or re-write history by getting over close moments the legendary running back could not during his illustrious career. The challenges will include key moments such as Peterson’s 2008 Week 10 game-winning TD vs the Green Bay Packers and 2007 vs. the LA Chargers, where he set the single-game rushing record at 296 yards.
The event will also feature special Adrian Peterson rewards for participation in the challenges. The first Adrien Peterson-themed reward is the base card available on the first node of the event’s “Challenges.”At the end of quick-play “Challenges,” players can also earn a non-tradable rare edition card. An epic LE edition is also given at the end of the Battle Pass. Gamers can also purchase one legendary edition or a mythical edition card via the promo store.
