Marvel Teases Swimsuit Skins for Rivals in Summer Comic Special

Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with the upcoming Marvel Swimsuit Special comic book, and it seems that NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals will be joining the summer festivities with its own line of swimsuit skins.

A recent post on the Marvel website has shed light on the potential arrival of long-awaited Marvel Rivals swimsuit cosmetics. The post promises that Marvel will revisit the fan-favorite series on July 9 with Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1. This issue will offer Earth’s Mightiest Heroes a much-needed break from their world-saving duties, but more intriguingly, it teases a sneak peek at designs for Marvel Rivals.

Unfortunately, Marvel hasn’t revealed much about the launch date of these summer designs or which characters will be included in the collection. It’s also worth noting that the post doesn’t explicitly confirm that these skins will be part of a swimsuit set for Marvel Rivals. However, given the special’s theme, it would be reasonable to expect some summer cosmetics to be included. We’ll likely learn more about the Marvel Swimsuit Special in the coming months, so let's hope future updates provide more details on its connection to Marvel Rivals.

Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has quickly become a favorite among multiplayer gaming enthusiasts on both PC and consoles. Its competitive gameplay and extensive roster of characters have kept players engaged, constantly devising strategies to climb the ranks. While some focus on enhancing their skills, others are eagerly anticipating NetEase’s post-launch plans. The idea of a Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection has captured the imagination of fans, and it appears their wishes may soon be fulfilled.

Regarding the potential launch timeline for these swimsuits, there are a few hints we can consider. Marvel Rivals Season 2 recently introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala to the game, and with the season set to conclude in approximately three months, it's reasonable to anticipate that the new outfits will debut with Season 3, likely around July or August. This timing aligns well with NetEase’s previously announced schedule and allows fans to enjoy the summer vibe just before the season ends.

Additionally, Season 3 will mark the introduction of NetEase’s new post-launch strategy. Instead of the traditional three-month seasons, Marvel Rivals will now have shorter, two-month seasons. This means fans can expect a new playable hero each month moving forward.
