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 appears that NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals will also be diving into the summer vibe with its own set of swimsuit skins. A recent post on the Marvel website has given fans a glimpse into what might be coming with the announcement of Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1, set to hit the shelves on July 9. This special issue promises a refreshing break for Earth's Mightiest Heroes from their usual world-saving duties, and more intriguingly, it teases the inclusion of sneak peeks at designs for Marvel Rivals.

According to the comic's description, "Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL," and Wasp is stepping up to give Marvel's heroes a chance to showcase their swimwear in a global fashion shoot. The special promises stunning artwork spread across splash pages, alongside a story that fans can enjoy, humorously suggesting that they might be 'reading it for the articles…'

While Marvel hasn't disclosed specific details about the launch of these summer designs or the characters featured in the collection, the thematic connection to the Swimsuit Special strongly suggests that we'll see summer-themed cosmetics. As we await further details in the coming months, fans are hopeful that more information will shed light on how this ties into Marvel Rivals.

Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has become a beloved multiplayer game for both PC and console players. With its competitive gameplay and extensive roster of characters, players are constantly strategizing to climb the ranks. Amidst this, there's been a growing anticipation for NetEase's post-launch content, especially the possibility of a Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection. It now seems that fans' wishes are on the verge of being fulfilled.

As for when these swimsuits might make their debut in the game, clues suggest they could align with the launch of Season 3. With Season 2 introducing Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala just last week and set to conclude in about three months, it's reasonable to anticipate the new outfits arriving around July or August. This timing aligns well with NetEase's planned schedule and allows fans to enjoy the summer-themed skins before the season ends.

Alongside Season 3, NetEase is rolling out new post-launch plans, shifting to shorter, two-month seasons. This means players can look forward to a new playable hero every month.
