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 exciting addition coincides with the PC debut of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games. Additionally, new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange are slated for release on January 17, adding to the anticipation among the game's community.
In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man plays the role of a Duelist, focusing on maximizing damage output during matches. With a challenging five-star difficulty rating, mastering Spider-Man requires skill and practice. Players can utilize his unique abilities to web-zip and web-swing across the map, leveraging his superior mobility to engage and disengage from combat swiftly. Spider-Man's arsenal includes webbing enemies, pulling them in for close encounters, or delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. The recent Midnight Features quests for Season 1 encourage players to take on the role of Spider-Man to earn exclusive 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. The news has sparked enthusiasm among gamers, particularly due to Yuri Lowenthal reprising his role as Spider-Man in both titles. However, some fans find themselves caught between choosing the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin, which might also make its way into the game.
Marvel Rivals Announces the Release of the Advanced Suit 2.0
The Advanced Suit 2.0 boasts the classic red and blue color scheme, highlighted by the large, iconic white spider symbol that has become a hallmark of Insomniac Games' depiction of the superhero. While many are eager to add this cosmetic to their collection, there's concern over its potential cost. Legendary skin bundles typically cost 2,200 Units, but legendary MCU versions of Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced higher at 2,600 Units.
For those looking to quickly accumulate Units in Marvel Rivals, completing the game's Heroic Journey achievements is a smart 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 variety of exciting cosmetics on the horizon, fans are eager to see what creative offerings NetEase Games will introduce next.
