Marvel Rivals Adding Skin Based on Spider-Man 2 Game

Summary

• Marvel Rivals will launch a new skin based on Marvel's Spider-Man 2, coinciding with the game's PC release on January 30th.
• New Mantis and Doctor Strange skins are also arriving on January 17th.

Marvel Rivals surprised fans by announcing a new Advanced Suit 2.0 skin from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, launching January 30th—the same day the game debuts on PC. This is noteworthy, as Spider-Man 2 is a PlayStation exclusive developed by Insomniac Games.

Spider-Man, a five-star difficulty Duelist in Marvel Rivals, focuses on high damage output. His in-game abilities include web-zipping and web-swinging for superior mobility, allowing quick engagements and escapes. He can web enemies, pull them close, or deliver powerful uppercuts for knockouts. A current Season 1 Midnight Features quest even rewards players for using Spider-Man.

NetEase Games' surprise Twitter announcement confirmed the Advanced Suit 2.0 skin's arrival on January 30th. The reveal generated excitement, particularly due to Yuri Lowenthal voicing Spider-Man in both games. However, some fans are torn between this skin and a leaked Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin rumored for Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals: Advanced Suit 2.0 Skin Release

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 cost. Many legendary skins cost 2,200 Units, but MCU skins like Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced at 2,600 Units.

Players aiming to quickly acquire Units in Marvel Rivals can focus on completing Heroic Journey achievements. These challenges reward up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. These Units, along with Lattice, can be used to purchase skins from the in-game shop. With numerous exciting cosmetics on the horizon, anticipation is high for NetEase Games' future offerings.
