Marvel Teases Swimsuit Skins for Rivals in Summer Comic Special

Marvel is gearing up for a splashy summer with the release of the Marvel Swimsuit Special comic book, and it seems that NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals will dive into the fun with its own set of swimsuit skins.

A recent post on the Marvel website has spilled some exciting details about what could lead to the introduction of long-awaited Marvel Rivals swimsuit cosmetics. Set to hit the shelves on July 9, Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1 promises to give Earth’s Mightiest Heroes a much-needed break from their world-saving duties. More intriguingly, the comic teases a sneak peek at designs that might make their way into Marvel Rivals.

While Marvel keeps the specifics under wraps, such as the launch date and the characters featured in the collection, the thematic focus of the special hints at the inclusion of summer-themed cosmetics. We'll keep our eyes peeled for more details on how this ties into Marvel Rivals in the coming months.

Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has become a favorite among multiplayer enthusiasts on PC and consoles. Its competitive gameplay and diverse roster have kept players engaged, strategizing to climb the ranks. While some focus on honing their skills, others eagerly await NetEase’s post-launch content, particularly the much-anticipated Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection, which now seems closer than ever to becoming a reality.

As for when these swimsuits might make their debut in Marvel Rivals, there are a few hints we can follow. The recent launch of Season 2, featuring Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, suggests that new outfits could arrive with Season 3 around July or August. This timeline aligns well with NetEase’s planned schedule and lets fans enjoy these summery additions before the season ends.

Season 3 will also introduce a new approach to post-launch content, with shorter seasons lasting about two months, ensuring a steady stream of new heroes.
