Marvel Rivals Adding Skin Based on Spider-Man 2 Game

Summary

• Marvel Rivals will debut a new skin based on Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
• This skin release coincides with Spider-Man 2's PC launch on January 30th.

Marvel Rivals surprised fans with the announcement of a new Advanced Suit 2.0 skin from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, launching January 30th. This coincides with the PC debut of the PlayStation exclusive title developed by Insomniac Games. New Mantis and Doctor Strange skins are also planned for January 17th.

Spider-Man, a five-star Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is known for his high damage output and challenging gameplay. His in-game mobility allows for quick engagements and escapes using web-zipping and web-swinging. He can web enemies, pull them in, or deliver powerful uppercuts for knockouts. A current Season 1 Midnight Features quest even rewards players for using Spider-Man.

NetEase Games unexpectedly revealed the Advanced Suit 2.0 skin on Twitter. The announcement generated excitement, especially given Yuri Lowenthal's voice acting in both games. However, some fans are debating between this skin and a leaked Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin rumored for Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals Announces the Advanced Suit 2.0 Skin

The Advanced Suit 2.0 boasts the classic red and blue design, highlighted by the large, iconic white spider symbol synonymous with Insomniac Games' Spider-Man. While many anticipate this cosmetic addition, concerns exist about its potential price. Many legendary skin bundles cost 2,200 Units, while MCU skins like Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced at 2,600 Units.

Players aiming to quickly acquire Units for the new skin might consider completing the Heroic Journey achievements. These challenges offer up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. Units, combined with Lattice, can be used to purchase skins from the in-game shop. With exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans eagerly await NetEase Games' next announcements.
