Marvel Teases Swimsuit Skins for Rivals in Summer Comic Special

Marvel is set to splash into summer with the release of another Swimsuit Special comic book, and fans of NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals are in for a treat as the game is teased to feature its own swimsuit skins.

A recent post on the Marvel website has shared tantalizing details about the upcoming Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1, slated for release on July 9. This issue promises to give Earth’s Mightiest Heroes a much-needed respite from their world-saving duties. More excitingly, it hints at a sneak peek at designs intended for Marvel Rivals.

The comic's storyline revolves around Roxxon Comics releasing an unauthorized swimsuit special, prompting Wasp to orchestrate a global swimwear fashion shoot featuring Marvel's heroes. The issue is described as a "super-sized special" packed with stunning art and a compelling story that playfully acknowledges fans' true interests.

However, Marvel remains tight-lipped about the specifics of the summer designs, including their launch date and which characters will don the new looks. While the post doesn't confirm the skins for Marvel Rivals, the thematic alignment suggests that summer cosmetics are likely in the pipeline. More details about the Marvel Swimsuit Special and its connection to Marvel Rivals are expected to surface in the coming months.

Marvel Rivals, launched in December, has captivated multiplayer gaming enthusiasts across PC and consoles with its competitive gameplay and extensive roster of characters. As players strategize to climb the ranks, there's growing anticipation for NetEase’s post-launch content, particularly the much-anticipated swimsuit collection, which now seems closer to reality.

When it comes to predicting the launch of the swimsuit skins, recent developments offer some insights. Marvel Rivals Season 2, which introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, just concluded. With the season ending in three months, it's plausible that the new swimwear outfits will debut with Season 3 around July or August, perfectly aligning with the summer season.

Moreover, Season 3 marks a shift in Marvel Rivals' post-launch strategy, with seasons now lasting only about two months. This change ensures a fresh playable hero every month, keeping the game dynamic and exciting.
