Marvel Rivals Adding Skin Based on Spider-Man 2 Game

Marvel Rivals is set to excite fans with the announcement of a new skin inspired by the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, debuting on January 30. This special release coincides with the PC launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. Alongside the Spider-Man 2 skin, Marvel Rivals will also introduce new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17, adding to the game's growing collection of hero cosmetics.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man is categorized as a Duelist, a role focused on dealing maximum damage in matches. With a difficulty rating of five stars, he is one of the most challenging characters to master. Players can utilize Spider-Man's unique abilities, such as web-zipping and web-swinging, to navigate the battlefield with superior mobility. These skills allow for quick engagement and disengagement in combat, enabling players to web enemies, pull them close, or deliver powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The recent Midnight Features quests in Season 1 of Marvel Rivals encourage players to take on challenges with Spider-Man, offering rewards for their efforts.

NetEase Games made the exciting announcement via Twitter, revealing that the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be available as a legendary skin in Marvel Rivals starting January 30. The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from the community, particularly due to Yuri Lowenthal reprising his role as Spider-Man's voice in both titles. However, the reveal has also sparked a debate among fans, as some are weighing their options between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might be coming to the game.

Marvel Rivals Announces the Release of the Advanced Suit 2.0

The Advanced Suit 2.0 retains the iconic red and blue color scheme, highlighted by the prominent white spider symbol that has become a hallmark of Insomniac Games' rendition of the superhero. While many players are eager to acquire this new cosmetic, there's concern over its potential cost. Legendary skin bundles in Marvel Rivals typically cost 2,200 Units, but the MCU versions of Spider-Man and Iron Man skins are priced higher at 2,600 Units.

For those looking to quickly amass Units in Marvel Rivals, completing the game's Heroic Journey achievements is a recommended strategy. By successfully completing these challenges, players can earn up to 1,500 Units and unlock skins for both Storm and Star-Lord. These Units, along with Lattice, can then be used to purchase various skins from the in-game shop. With an array of exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games will introduce next in Marvel Rivals.
