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.
• The skin is being added to celebrate Spider-Man 2's PC debut on January 30.

Marvel Rivals has thrilled fans with the announcement of a new skin inspired by the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, set to launch on January 30. This coincides with the much-anticipated PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. In addition to the Spider-Man skin, Marvel Rivals will introduce new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man plays the role of a Duelist, focusing on dealing maximum damage during matches. With a challenging five-star difficulty rating, mastering Spider-Man requires skill and practice. Players can utilize his web-zip and web-swing abilities to navigate the map swiftly, engaging and disengaging from combat with ease. Spider-Man's arsenal includes webbing enemies, pulling them close, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The ongoing Season 1 of Marvel Rivals features a Midnight Features quest that encourages players to use Spider-Man to earn rewards.

NetEase Games made the exciting announcement on 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 news has sparked enthusiasm among fans, particularly because Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Spider-Man in both games, lends his voice to this skin. However, some fans are conflicted, torn between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might also be coming to the game.

Marvel Rivals Announces the Release of the Advanced Suit 2.0

The Advanced Suit 2.0 retains the classic red and blue color scheme, highlighted by the iconic large white spider symbol that has become a signature of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man. While many players are eager to add this new cosmetic to their collection, there's concern about its potential cost, given that legendary MCU skins in Marvel Rivals, such as those for Spider-Man and Iron Man, are priced at 2,600 Units, compared to the standard 2,200 Units for other legendary skin bundles.

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