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 based on the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, set to be released on January 30. This exciting addition coincides with the PC debut of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. Alongside this, Marvel Rivals will also introduce new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange on January 17.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man serves as a Duelist, tasked with 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, engaging and disengaging from combat with ease. Spider-Man's arsenal includes webbing enemies, pulling them close, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The recent Midnight Features quests in Season 1 encourage players to use Spider-Man to earn exclusive rewards.

NetEase Games made the announcement on Twitter, revealing that the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be available as a legendary skin in Marvel Rivals on January 30. The news was met with enthusiasm, particularly because Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Spider-Man in both games, lends his talent to this crossover. However, some fans are conflicted, torn between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might soon appear in the game.

Marvel Rivals Announces the Release of the Advanced Suit 2.0

The Advanced Suit 2.0 retains the iconic red and blue color scheme, highlighted by the large white spider symbol that has become a hallmark of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man. While many players are eager to add this new cosmetic to their collection, concerns have been raised about its potential cost, given that legendary MCU skins in Marvel Rivals, such as those for Spider-Man and Iron Man, are priced at 2,600 Units, compared to the standard 2,200 Units for other legendary skin bundles.

For those looking to quickly accumulate Units in Marvel Rivals, completing the game's Heroic Journey achievements is a smart strategy. These challenges can reward players with up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. Units, along with Lattice, can be used to purchase any skins available in the game's shop. With a variety of exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games will unveil next.
