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 coincides with the much-anticipated PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. In addition to the Spider-Man skin, Marvel Rivals will also 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 arsenal includes webbing enemies, pulling them close, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The recent Midnight Features quests in Season 1 encourage players to use Spider-Man to earn exclusive 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, who voices Spider-Man in both titles, adds a layer of authenticity. However, some fans are conflicted, torn between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might soon be available in the game.
Marvel Rivals Announces the Release of the Advanced Suit 2.0
The Advanced Suit 2.0 retains the classic red and blue color scheme, highlighted by the large, iconic white spider symbol that has become a hallmark of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man. While many players are eager to add this new cosmetic to their collection, there's concern about its potential cost, which might mirror the higher price tags of MCU skins in Marvel Rivals. Legendary skin bundles typically cost 2,200 Units, but the MCU versions of Spider-Man and Iron Man skins are priced at 2,600 Units.
For those eager to acquire Units quickly, completing the 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, along with Lattice, can be used to purchase any skins available in the game's shop. With an array of exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games will unveil next.
