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

Get ready, Marvel Rivals fans! A brand-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 launch of the acclaimed PlayStation title. This exciting addition comes alongside new Mantis and Doctor Strange skins launching on January 17th.

The Advanced Suit 2.0, a legendary skin, boasts the classic red and blue Spider-Man design, highlighted by the iconic large white spider emblem synonymous with Insomniac Games' portrayal of the web-slinger. While anticipation is high, some players are concerned about the potential cost, given the premium pricing of previous Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) skins. Many legendary bundles are priced at 2,200 Units, while MCU skins like Spider-Man and Iron Man have cost 2,600 Units.

Spider-Man, a five-star Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is known for his high damage output and challenging gameplay. His signature web-slinging and zip-lining abilities allow for quick maneuvering and devastating attacks. Currently, a Season 1 Midnight Features quest even rewards players for using Spider-Man.

The announcement, made via NetEase Games' Twitter, generated significant excitement, especially given Yuri Lowenthal's voice acting in both Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel Rivals. However, some fans are debating between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a leaked Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin rumored for future release.

Players eager to acquire Units for the new skin can tackle the Heroic Journey achievements, offering up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord as rewards. These Units, combined with Lattice, can be used to purchase any skin in the in-game shop. With a promising cosmetic lineup on the horizon, the future of Marvel Rivals looks vibrant.
