Marvel Rivals is adding a new Spider-Man skin to celebrate the PC launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on January 30th. The skin, the Advanced Suit 2.0, will be available on the same day. This coincides with the January 17th release of new Mantis and Doctor Strange skins.
Spider-Man, a five-star Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is known for his high damage output and challenging gameplay. His in-game abilities include web-zipping, web-swinging, and powerful attacks. A current Season 1 quest even encourages players to use Spider-Man.
NetEase Games' surprise announcement on Twitter generated significant excitement, particularly due to Yuri Lowenthal voicing Spider-Man in both games. However, some players are debating between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin.
The Advanced Suit 2.0, a classic red and blue design with a prominent white spider symbol, is expected to be a legendary skin. Concerns exist regarding its potential cost, with legendary skins typically priced at 2,200 Units, while some MCU skins reach 2,600 Units.
Players aiming to quickly acquire Units can complete the Heroic Journey achievements, earning up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. These Units, along with Lattice, can be used to purchase skins from the in-game shop. The anticipation for future cosmetics from NetEase Games remains high.
