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 coincides with the much-anticipated PC release of Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. In addition to this exciting news, Marvel Rivals is also set to introduce new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man is classified as a Duelist, tasked with dealing maximum damage during matches. His high difficulty rating of five stars indicates that he is among the game's most challenging characters to master. Players can utilize Spider-Man's unique mobility to navigate the battlefield swiftly, using web-zip and web-swing mechanics to engage and disengage from combat. His abilities include webbing opponents, pulling them close, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. One of the recent quests in Season 1's Midnight Features encourages players to use Spider-Man to earn 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 on January 30. The reveal sparked excitement among fans, particularly because Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Spider-Man in both games, lends his talent to this crossover. However, the announcement has left some fans conflicted, as they weigh the new Advanced Suit 2.0 against a 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' Spider-Man. While the prospect of obtaining this new cosmetic is exciting, some fans are concerned about its potential cost. Legendary skin bundles typically cost 2,200 Units, but legendary MCU skins for characters like Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced higher at 2,600 Units.

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