Spider-Man 2 Skin To Join Marvel Contest of Champions

Marvel Rivals Unveils New Spider-Man 2 Skin

Get ready, Marvel Rivals fans! A brand-new skin based on the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is swinging its way into the game on January 30th, coinciding with the PC launch of the acclaimed PlayStation title. This exciting addition comes as a surprise announcement from NetEase Games.

The Advanced Suit 2.0, with its classic red and blue design highlighted by a large, iconic white spider emblem, is sure to be a hit. However, the price remains a point of discussion among players, with concerns that it might match the premium cost of previous MCU skins (some legendary bundles cost 2,200 Units, while MCU skins like Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced at 2,600 Units).

Spider-Man, a five-star Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is known for his high damage output and impressive mobility. His web-slinging and zip-lining abilities allow for quick and effective combat maneuvers. Players can web enemies, pull them in, or deliver powerful uppercuts for a knockout. Currently, a Season 1 Midnight Features quest even encourages players to use Spider-Man to earn rewards.

The announcement also revealed new skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange, dropping on January 17th. This influx of new cosmetic options has fans eagerly anticipating future releases from NetEase Games. Players looking to quickly accumulate Units for these new skins can focus on completing the Heroic Journey achievements, potentially earning up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. These Units, combined with Lattice, can be used to purchase any available skin in the in-game shop. The debate continues between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a leaked Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin, further fueling excitement within the community.
