Marvel Rivals Adding Skin Based on Spider-Man 2 Game

Marvel Rivals' New Spider-Man Skin: Advanced Suit 2.0 Arrives January 30th

Get ready, Marvel Rivals fans! A new skin based on the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is swinging into the game on January 30th, coinciding with the PC release of the acclaimed PlayStation title. This exciting addition celebrates the game's PC debut. The announcement also revealed new Mantis and Doctor Strange skins launching earlier, on January 17th.

Spider-Man, a five-star Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is known for his high damage output and challenging gameplay. His unique web-slinging and zip-line abilities provide superior mobility, making him a formidable combatant. He can web opponents, pull them close, or deliver powerful uppercuts for a knockout. Currently, a Season 1 Midnight Features quest even encourages players to utilize Spider-Man to earn rewards.

NetEase Games surprised fans with the Twitter reveal of the Advanced Suit 2.0 skin, a legendary addition. The enthusiasm is palpable, especially given Yuri Lowenthal's voice acting in both games. However, some players are debating between this new skin and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin.

The Advanced Suit 2.0 Skin: A Classic Look with a Modern Twist

The iconic red and blue suit, accented by a large, white spider symbol—a hallmark of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man—is sure to be a hit. However, pricing remains a concern for some players, with legendary skins typically costing 2,200 Units, while MCU skins like Spider-Man and Iron Man reach 2,600 Units.

For players aiming to quickly acquire Units, the Heroic Journey achievements offer a rewarding path. Completing these challenges can yield up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord, which can be used in conjunction with Lattice to purchase skins from the in-game shop. With a steady stream of exciting cosmetics on the way, the future of Marvel Rivals looks bright.
