⚔ THE NEXT RIVALS BATTLE APPROACHES WITH OUR NEW BOSSES - Frank 🆚 Penny
For Summer Games, the Rivals battle is a marathon, and it’s a sprint! Will Frank’s streetsmart tactics outplay Penny’s Nashville swagger? It’s New York vs Tennessee, with everything to play for - including the Aston Martin Valkyrie!🤩

This Rivals battle, you’ll be competing for Summer Games Wreaths! Wreaths will be awarded throughout every game mode, from the Events, Challenges, and Objectives you recognise as part of the season, to upcoming live content you’ll hear more about soon!
This Rivals battle will run for the full duration of the 3-week Summer Games season
The third week of the season will be Sprint Week - an extra intense, extra generous set of opportunities to win Wreaths and other rewards - if you have the stamina to keep up!
Wreaths you collect anywhere in-game will be tracked from 14th July 3pm BST to 5th August 2pm BST. The leaderboards will start calculating at 1pm BST on 5th August, Wreaths will cease to be counted from 2pm BST, and then at 3pm BST, prizes will begin to be awarded.
Team selection will be random - on entering the game after the Rivals battle begins, a team will be selected for you automatically.
