Marvel Rivals Adding Skin Based on Spider-Man 2 Game

Marvel Rivals' New Spider-Man Skin: Advanced Suit 2.0 Arrives January 30th

Get ready, Marvel Rivals fans! A new skin based on the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is swinging into the game on January 30th, coinciding with the PC release of the acclaimed PlayStation title. This exciting addition celebrates the game's PC debut. Alongside this, new Mantis and Doctor Strange skins will launch on January 17th.

Spider-Man, a five-star Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is known for his high damage output and challenging gameplay. His signature web-slinging and zip-lining abilities allow for quick maneuvering and devastating attacks, including web-based takedowns and powerful uppercuts. Currently, a Season 1 Midnight Features quest even rewards players for using Spider-Man.

NetEase Games surprised fans with the announcement on Twitter, confirming the Advanced Suit 2.0 as a legendary skin. The reveal generated significant excitement, particularly given Yuri Lowenthal's voice acting in both games. However, some players are debating between this skin and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin.

The Advanced Suit 2.0 Skin: Classic Style with a Modern Twist

The Advanced Suit 2.0 boasts the classic red and blue color scheme, highlighted by the large, iconic white spider emblem synonymous with Insomniac Games' Spider-Man. While anticipation is high, concerns remain about the potential cost. Many legendary skins are priced at 2,200 Units, but MCU skins like Spider-Man and Iron Man cost 2,600 Units.
