With NetEase planning to make as much money as they can with cosmetics, it was only natural for Marvel Rivals to have a roster of skins as plenty as the variety of action figures that each character possesses.
One huge draw of the Marvel brand has definitely been the movies, so Rivals has decided to drop a trailer showcasing all the MCU skins that are currently available in the game. Check these out:
From the get-go we have skin for Spider-Man (No Way Home), Iron Man (Avengers: Endgame), Thor (Love and Thunder), Loki (Loki Season 2), Scarlet Witch (Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness), Black Widow (from her solo movie), Namor (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Wolverine (from Deadpool and Wolverine), and the playable heroes from the Guardians of the Galaxy (from GOTG Vol. 3).
With more characters expected to be introduced in both the MCU and Marvel Rivals, we should expect more crossover skins to come to the game soon. MCU Iron Man himself has several different suits to choose from, and even pre-MCU properties like Spider-Man and X-Men have a lot of different skins that fans should want to get their hands on.
After such a long drought of great Marvel games, Rivals feels like the W that Marvel needed after the recent slump of MCU films in the box office. Hopefully they get their groove back soon; and in the meantime, I’m just enjoying how Rivals has been able to put the spotlight on obscure characters like Squirrel Girl and Jeff the Land Shark.
Marvel Rivals is now playable for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
