Marvel Teases Swimsuit Skins for Rivals in Summer Comic Special

Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with its Swimsuit Special comic book, and it seems that NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals is set to join the summer festivities with its own collection of swimsuit skins. A recent post on the Marvel website has shared intriguing details about what might lead to the much-anticipated arrival of these summer-themed cosmetics in Marvel Rivals. The post promises that Marvel will revisit the beloved series on July 9 with the release of Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1. This issue will offer Earth's Mightiest Heroes a well-deserved break from their world-saving duties, and more importantly, it will include a sneak peek at designs for Marvel Rivals.

The description for the Marvel Swimsuit Special states, "Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL. Wasp is on the case and seizes the opportunity for Marvel's heroes to do their OWN swimwear fashion shoot all over the world! But fear not, True Believers, we know what you're REALLY here for! This super-sized special features splash page after splash page of gorgeous art, but with a story so you can pretend you're 'reading it for the articles...'"

Unfortunately, Marvel has not disclosed when these summer designs will be available or which characters will be featured in the collection. It's worth noting that the post does not confirm that these skins will be part of a swimsuit set, but given the special's theme, it's reasonable to expect some summer-themed cosmetics. We can look forward to more details about the Marvel Swimsuit Special in the coming months, hopefully shedding light on its connection to Marvel Rivals.

Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has become a favorite among multiplayer enthusiasts on PC and consoles. Its competitive gameplay and extensive roster of characters have kept players engaged, constantly strategizing to climb the ranks. While many focus on enhancing their skills, others are eagerly awaiting NetEase's post-launch plans, particularly the potential introduction of a Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection. With the latest news, it appears that fans' wishes may soon be fulfilled.

Regarding the timing of these swimsuit skins, there are some hints we can consider. Marvel Rivals Season 2, which introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, just began last week and is scheduled to end in about three months. This suggests that the new outfits might be released with Season 3, likely around July or August. This timeline aligns well with NetEase's previously announced schedule and allows fans to enjoy the new skins just before the end of summer.

Season 3 will also introduce NetEase's revised post-launch strategy, shifting to shorter two-month seasons. This means that players can expect at least one new playable hero each month moving forward.
