Marvel Teases Swimsuit Skins for Rivals in Summer Comic Special

Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with their Swimsuit Special comic book, and it seems that NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals is set to dive into the summer vibe with its own collection of swimsuit skins.

A recent post on the Marvel website has teased the upcoming Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1, set to hit the shelves on July 9. This issue promises a much-needed respite for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes from their world-saving duties. More intriguingly, Marvel hints at a sneak peek of designs that could be featured in Marvel Rivals.

"Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL," reads the description for the Marvel Swimsuit Special. "Wasp is on the case and seizes the opportunity for Marvel’s heroes to do their OWN swimwear fashion shoot all over the world! But fear not, True Believers, we know what you’re REALLY here for! This super-sized special features splash page after splash page of gorgeous art, but with a story so you can pretend you’re ‘reading it for the articles…’"

While Marvel has kept details under wraps regarding the launch timeline and which characters will don these summer outfits, the thematic focus of the special suggests that we might see some summer-themed cosmetics. We'll keep an eye out for more information in the coming months, hoping for clearer connections to Marvel Rivals.

Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has captured the hearts of multiplayer enthusiasts on both PC and consoles. Its competitive gameplay and extensive character roster have kept players engaged, strategizing ways to climb the ranks. While many focus on enhancing their skills, a significant portion of the community eagerly awaits news on post-launch content, particularly the much-anticipated Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection, which now appears closer to reality.

As for the timing of these swimsuits, clues suggest they might align with Marvel Rivals Season 3, expected around July or August. This aligns with the end of Season 2, which introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, and is set to conclude in about three months. This timing would allow fans to enjoy the new outfits just as summer winds down.

Additionally, Season 3 will mark a shift in NetEase’s post-launch strategy, moving to shorter, two-month seasons. This means players can anticipate a new hero every month.
