Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with the Marvel Swimsuit Special comic book, set to hit the shelves on July 9. This special edition, titled Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1, promises to give Earth's Mightiest Heroes a well-deserved break from their world-saving duties. But what's truly catching the eye of fans is the tease of upcoming swimsuit skins for Marvel Rivals, the popular multiplayer game developed by NetEase Games.
According to a recent post on the Marvel website, "Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL." The plot follows Wasp as she orchestrates a global swimwear fashion shoot featuring Marvel's heroes. The special promises stunning splash pages of art, with a narrative that humorously suggests you're "reading it for the articles."
While the post doesn't confirm the exact launch date or the specific characters featured in these summer designs, the thematic connection to the Marvel Swimsuit Special strongly suggests that Marvel Rivals players can expect to see some new summer-themed cosmetics. Fans eager for more details will need to stay tuned for updates in the coming months.
Marvel Rivals, launched in December, has quickly become a favorite among multiplayer enthusiasts on both PC and consoles. Its competitive gameplay and diverse roster of characters keep players engaged and strategizing. As the community eagerly anticipates post-launch content, the idea of a Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection has generated significant buzz. With the recent tease, it seems that fans' wishes are on the verge of coming true.

As for when these swimsuits might make their debut in Marvel Rivals, we can look to recent updates for clues. Season 2 introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, set to conclude in about three months. This timeline suggests that the new swimsuits could be part of Season 3, likely launching around July or August. This timing aligns well with NetEase's planned schedule and allows players to enjoy the summer-themed outfits before the season ends.
Additionally, Season 3 marks a shift in NetEase's post-launch strategy, with seasons now lasting approximately two months instead of three. This change means fans can look forward to a new playable hero each month.
