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 be released on January 30. This coincides with the highly anticipated PC launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. In addition to the Spider-Man skin, Marvel Rivals is also set to 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 toolkit includes webbing enemies, pulling them in, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The recent Midnight Features quests in Season 1 of Marvel Rivals encourage players to use Spider-Man to earn various in-game 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 was met with enthusiasm, particularly because Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man in both games, lends his voice to this skin. However, some fans are conflicted, as they are also anticipating a leaked Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that may soon be introduced to Marvel Rivals.
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 large white spider symbol that has become a hallmark of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man. While excitement for this new cosmetic is high, some players are concerned about its potential cost, given that legendary skins in Marvel Rivals, especially those from the MCU, can be quite expensive. For example, legendary MCU skins 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 eager to acquire Units quickly, completing the Heroic Journey achievements in Marvel Rivals is a smart strategy. These challenges offer up to 1,500 Units and skins for both Storm and Star-Lord. Players can use Units alongside Lattice to purchase any skins available in the game's shop. With a range of exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games will unveil next.
