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

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man serves as a Duelist, focused on dealing maximum damage. With a difficulty rating of five stars, he's one of the trickiest characters to master. Players can utilize Spider-Man's web-zip and web-swing abilities to navigate the map swiftly, engaging and disengaging from combat with ease. His toolkit includes webbing enemies, pulling them in for devastating uppercuts, and other moves that can secure a knockout. A recent quest in Season 1 of Marvel Rivals 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 become available as a legendary skin in Marvel Rivals on January 30. The news was met with enthusiasm, especially given that Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Spider-Man in both games, lends his talent to the character. However, some fans are divided between the allure of the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might also make its way to Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals Announces the Release of the Advanced Suit 2.0

The Advanced Suit 2.0 retains the classic red and blue colors, highlighted by the large white spider symbol, a signature of Insomniac Games' rendition of the superhero. While many players eagerly anticipate adding this cosmetic to their collection, there's concern that it may come with a high price tag similar to other MCU skins in Marvel Rivals. Legendary skin bundles typically cost 2,200 Units, whereas the legendary MCU skins for Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced at 2,600 Units.

For those eager to amass Units quickly in Marvel Rivals, completing the game's Heroic Journey achievements is a smart move. As players progress through these challenges, they can earn up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. These Units, along with Lattice, can be used to purchase various skins in the game's shop. With a slew of exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games will unveil next.
