Marvel Rivals has given players a first look at gameplay of new skins for Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, The Thing, and Human Torch, which are inspired by the upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps. NetEase Games recently launched Season 3 of Marvel Rivals, introducing the villain Knull as the title’s current main antagonist.
Marvel Rivals recently launched its Summer Special event, which came with a wide variety of skins that will only be available for a limited time. Psylocke and Loki both received new costumes in the game’s shop, while Thor, The Thing, and Luna Snow’s skins are currently tied to the event pass. Players who progress the pass will be able to claim Thor’s Worthy Waves cosmetics for free, while The Thing and Luna Snow’s skins require players to purchase the premium version of the pass. A recent leak suggested that even more summer skins could be making their debut after the major Season 3.5 update on August 8.

Marvel Rivals Leak Teases More Summer Skins
A prominent Marvel Rivals content creator surprises fans by revealing another summer skin that could be coming to NetEase Games’ popular hero shooter.
In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games revealed new skins for Marvel Rivals‘ Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing, which are modeled after The Fantastic Four: First Steps. While the upcoming MCU film makes its debut in theaters on July 25, players will be able to acquire the skins based on the movie on July 24 at 7 PM PDT. All the costumes feature a powder-blue fabric with white accents, giving the heroes a bit of a retro look.
Some fans were quick to express some concern about the new costumes, as the short trailer didn’t show an MVP animation. As of writing, NetEase Games hasn’t announced any specifics about the skins, their accessories, or pricing. In addition to launching a fresh set of costumes, Marvel Rivals will be introducing a new team-up alongside the launch of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. This team-up will allow Human Torch to pick up The Thing and drop him on nearby enemies, which appears to be similar to a moment shown off in one of the movie’s trailers.
Marvel Rivals isn’t the only video game getting an MCU collaboration, as Epic Games has also coordinated a crossover between Fortnite and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Each member of the team will be receiving their own skin, though no announcement has been made about how much the cosmetics will cost. With a whole new season to enjoy and even more content just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
