Spider-Man 2 Game Skin Added to Marvel Rivals

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 exciting addition coincides with the PC launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. In addition to this, Marvel Rivals will also introduce new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man serves as a Duelist, whose main objective is to maximize damage output during matches. With a challenging five-star difficulty rating, Spider-Man demands skill and practice to master. Players can utilize his web-zip and web-swing abilities to navigate the map swiftly, leveraging his mobility to engage and disengage from combat effectively. Spider-Man can web enemies, pull them in for close encounters, or deliver powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The recent Midnight Features quests in Season 1 of Marvel Rivals encourage players to take on the role of Spider-Man to earn various rewards.

NetEase Games announced on Twitter 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. This announcement has sparked significant excitement, particularly because Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man, lends his talents to both games. However, some fans are conflicted, torn between the allure of the Advanced Suit 2.0 and the rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might also come 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 many are eager to add this new cosmetic to their collection, there's some concern about its potential cost, given the higher price tags of MCU skins in Marvel Rivals. For instance, legendary skin bundles typically cost 2,200 Units, but the legendary MCU skins for Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced at 2,600 Units.

For those eager to amass Units quickly, completing the Heroic Journey achievements in Marvel Rivals is a smart strategy. These challenges allow players to earn up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. Units and Lattice can then be used 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.
