Spider-Man 2 Game Inspires New Marvel Rivals Skin

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 PC debut 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, focused on dealing maximum damage. With a challenging five-star difficulty rating, mastering Spider-Man requires skill and practice. Players can utilize his superior mobility to web-zip and web-swing across the map, swiftly entering and exiting combat. Spider-Man's abilities include 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 rewards.

NetEase Games made the exciting announcement via Twitter, revealing that the Advanced Suit 2.0 will be available as a legendary skin in Marvel Rivals on January 30. The news has sparked enthusiasm among gamers, particularly because Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man, lends his talent to both titles. However, some fans are conflicted, torn between this new skin and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might also be coming to 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 iconic large white spider symbol that defines Insomniac Games' version of the superhero. While many players are eager to add this new cosmetic to their collection, there's concern that it may come with a steep price, similar to the MCU skins in Marvel Rivals. For comparison, most legendary skin bundles cost 2,200 Units, but the legendary MCU skins for Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced at 2,600 Units.

To quickly accumulate Units in Marvel Rivals, players should focus on completing the Heroic Journey achievements. By tackling these challenges, players can earn up to 1,500 Units and unlock skins for both Storm and Star-Lord. These Units, along with Lattice, can be used to purchase any skins available in the game's shop. With a variety of exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games has in store next.
