Marvel Rivals enthusiasts, get ready for some summer fun! A beach-themed event is coming to the game, bringing a collection of sizzling new looks for your favorite characters.
Among the anticipated additions is a breezy summer skin for Luna Snow. This skin transforms her musical abilities into surging waves of sound. Footage indicates Snow is a highlight, boasting a custom soundtrack of relaxing lo-fi melodies and delightful details, such as tiny fish swimming around her.
Interestingly, many of the fresh cosmetic items are designed for male heroes, like Thor and Loki, who are both showing off their impressive physiques. Loki sports a more modest beach ensemble, while Thor opts for a striking, shirtless appearance. In a comedic display, Thor can be seen playfully bopping Loki, seemingly targeting a delighted audience. The good news? Thor’s skin will be available for free.
Adding to the excitement, NetEase has introduced The Thing in a thong. Yes, you read that right! As expected, this particular cosmetic has sent fans into a frenzy.
For dedicated players, this event might feel familiar, echoing the annual Marvel Swimsuit special comic released earlier this month, where heroes are depicted in beach attire. However, the teased Punisher swimsuit concept from the special unfortunately did not make the cut. Perhaps the world wasn’t quite ready for Wolverine’s version of a minimalist beach outfit.
NetEase is clearly having fun. How else can you explain the inclusion of sprays like “HERE’S THE THING” or an emote showing The Thing reading a book while crouching?
These skins are part of a larger summer event allowing players to unlock cosmetics through gameplay. However, if you desire The Thing in a thong, you’ll need to spend real money for the privilege. Interestingly, the comic book cover for the physical swimsuit special mentions a code for The Thing’s cosmetic upon purchase, but details about this promotional offer are currently scarce.
