Spider-Man 2 Game Inspires New Skin in Marvel Rivals

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 perfectly with the PC debut of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. In addition to this exciting news, Marvel Rivals will also release new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man plays the role of a Duelist, focusing on dealing maximum damage during matches. With a challenging five-star difficulty rating, mastering Spider-Man requires skill and practice. Players can utilize his web-zip and web-swing abilities to navigate the map swiftly, entering and exiting combat with ease. Spider-Man's arsenal includes web-based attacks to pull enemies close or deliver powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The recent Midnight Features quests in Season 1 encourage players to take on the role of Spider-Man to earn various in-game rewards.

NetEase Games made a surprise announcement on Twitter that the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be available as a legendary skin in Marvel Rivals starting January 30. The news was met with enthusiasm, especially since Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man in both titles, lends his talent to the character. However, some fans are torn between this new skin and the rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might soon be available in Marvel Rivals.

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 has become a hallmark of Insomniac Games' rendition of the superhero. While excitement is high, some fans are concerned about the potential cost, as legendary skins in Marvel Rivals, especially those from the MCU, can be pricey. For example, legendary MCU skins for Spider-Man and Iron Man are listed at 2,600 Units, compared to other legendary skin bundles at 2,200 Units.

For those eager to acquire Units quickly, completing the Heroic Journey achievements in Marvel Rivals is a smart strategy. By tackling these challenges, players can earn up to 1,500 Units and 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. As the future looks bright with an array of exciting cosmetics, fans eagerly anticipate what NetEase Games will unveil next.
