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 move coincides with the PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. Additionally, Marvel Rivals is set to introduce new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man is categorized as a Duelist, focusing on dealing maximum damage. 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, engage in combat, and escape. Spider-Man's toolkit includes webbing enemies, pulling them close, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. A recent quest in Season 1's Midnight Features 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, especially given that Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man in both games, lends his voice to this skin. However, some fans are conflicted, as a leaked Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin 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 iconic red and blue colors with the distinctive large white spider symbol, a hallmark of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man. While excitement for this new cosmetic is high, there are concerns about its potential cost. Legendary skin bundles typically cost 2,200 Units, but MCU skins for Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced at 2,600 Units.

For those eager to acquire Units quickly, completing Heroic Journey achievements in Marvel Rivals is a smart strategy. These challenges can reward players with up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. Units and Lattice can then be used to purchase skins from the in-game shop. With an array of exciting cosmetics on the way, fans are eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games will unveil next.
