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 exciting addition coincides with the much-anticipated PC debut of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. Additionally, Marvel Rivals will introduce new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17.
In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man is classified as a Duelist, focused on maximizing damage output during matches. With a challenging five-star difficulty rating, mastering Spider-Man requires skill and practice. Players can utilize Spider-Man's web-zip and web-swing abilities to navigate maps swiftly, engage in combat, and retreat with ease. His capabilities include webbing enemies, pulling them in for close combat, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. A recent quest in Season 1's Midnight Features encourages players to take on challenges as Spider-Man to earn exclusive rewards.
NetEase Games made the announcement on Twitter, revealing that the Advanced Suit 2.0 will be available as a legendary skin in Marvel Rivals. The news has sparked excitement, especially with Yuri Lowenthal reprising his role as Spider-Man. However, some fans are conflicted, weighing the allure of the Advanced Suit 2.0 against rumors of a forthcoming Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin.
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 signature of Insomniac Games' version of the hero. While many are eager to add this new cosmetic to their collection, there's concern about its potential cost, which may mirror the higher price points of MCU skins in Marvel Rivals. For context, 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.
Players eager to accumulate Units in Marvel Rivals can focus on completing the Heroic Journey achievements. These challenges offer rewards of up to 1,500 Units, alongside skins for Storm and Star-Lord. Units and Lattice can be used to purchase a variety of 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.
