Marvel Teases Swimsuit Skins for Rivals in Summer Comic Special

Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with its upcoming Swimsuit Special comic book, and it seems that NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals is set to dive into the summer vibe with its own set of swimsuit skins. A recent post on the Marvel website has sparked anticipation by announcing the return of the fan-favorite series on July 9 with Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1. This issue promises a much-needed break for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, giving them a chance to unwind from their world-saving duties. More intriguing is the tease of a sneak peek at potential designs for Marvel Rivals.

"Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL," the description for the Marvel Swimsuit Special reads. "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…’”

While Marvel hasn't disclosed much about the launch date or the characters featured in these summer designs, the thematic focus of the special suggests that some summer-themed cosmetics might be on the horizon. We can expect more details on the Marvel Swimsuit Special in the coming months, and hopefully, further information on its connection to Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals launched in December and has quickly become a favorite among multiplayer enthusiasts on both PC and consoles. Its competitive gameplay and extensive character roster have kept players engaged, strategizing to climb the ranks. While some focus on honing their skills, others eagerly await NetEase's post-launch plans, especially the much-anticipated Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection, which seems poised to become a reality soon.

As for the timing of these swimsuit skins, there are hints we can follow. Marvel Rivals Season 2 recently introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, set to conclude in about three months. This suggests that the new swimwear outfits might launch with Season 3, likely around July or August, aligning perfectly with the end of summer and NetEase’s previously outlined schedule.

Alongside Season 3, NetEase plans to introduce shorter seasons lasting about two months, ensuring a steady stream of new content with at least one new playable hero each month.
