Marvel Rivals Adding Skin Based on Spider-Man 2 Game

Marvel Rivals' New Spider-Man Skin: A PC Launch Celebration

Get ready, Marvel Rivals fans! A brand-new skin based on Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Advanced Suit 2.0 is swinging into the game on January 30th, coinciding with the PC release of the acclaimed PlayStation title. This exciting addition is a surprise treat for players, especially given the same voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, portrays Spider-Man in both games. The announcement also revealed new Mantis and Doctor Strange skins arriving on January 17th.

Spider-Man, a five-star Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is known for his high damage output and challenging gameplay. His signature web-slinging and zip-line abilities allow for dynamic combat maneuvers. He's currently featured in a Season 1 Midnight Features quest, offering players a chance to earn rewards while mastering his unique skillset.

NetEase Games' surprise Twitter reveal of the Advanced Suit 2.0 skin generated significant excitement. The classic red and blue suit, accented by the iconic large white spider emblem, is instantly recognizable to fans of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man iteration. However, some players are debating between this new skin and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin. Pricing remains a concern, with legendary skins typically costing 2,200 Units, while some MCU skins reach 2,600 Units.

For those eager to acquire Units, completing the Heroic Journey achievements offers a lucrative path. These challenges reward players with up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord, providing ample resources to purchase desired cosmetics using Units and Lattice in the in-game shop. With a steady stream of exciting cosmetic releases, the future of Marvel Rivals looks incredibly promising.
