All Marvel Rivals swimsuit skins and how to get them
Marvel Rivals will soon be invaded by swimsuit-wearing superheroes as part of a special collaboration, and that's great, because hy should Jeff the Landshark have all the fun when it comes to going for a leisurely swim? Namor the Submariner loves himself some bodies of water, too, but these costumes coming to Marvel Rivals are expected to be more centered on the bodies in the water, if you catch my drift. Oh yeah, NetEase Games knows exactly what gamers like and it's about to deliver on all levels when it comes to expressing yourself via in-game cosmetics in the hero shooter. Marvel Rivals swimsuit skins are actually happening for real, and we've got all the info on what to expect from them when they release later this year. All swimsuit skins in Marvel Rivals Screenshot by @mmmmmmmmiller So far, the only confirmed swimsuit skins in Marvel Rivals are part of the Krakoa Resort series, and they have been teased within the Marvel Rivals Infinity comic book series. These resort-themed skins should be coming to the in-game store in Marvel Rivals during season two. The skins shown so far are for: Jeff the Land Shark Rocket Raccoon Squirrel Girl The Thing Jeff looks cute in his tropical shirt and lei, while Rocket and Squirrel Girl sport their most fun-loving beach attire. And then The Thing...well...let's just say he might earn some new nicknames with this skin. We're thinking The Thong, or The G-String. Additionally, Marvel has confirmed that costumes inspired by designs in the special MARVEL SWIMSUIT SPECIAL: FRIENDS, FOES & RIVALS #1 comic book coming out on July 9 will be added to the game. This is where things will get really interesting and quite sultry. “Primarily an artist showcase, Marvel Swimsuit Special presented pinups from the industry’s top talents in a magazine-style format, complete with tongue-in-cheek articles and descriptions,” Marvel said of the swimsuit revival. “Each year, a light-hearted plot brought the heroes to a different setting, from the jungles of the Savage Land to the shores of Monster Island.” Screenshot by Destructoid This will be the first Swimsuit Special comic book by Marvel in 30 years, with the last one launching way back in 1995. Artwork and custom comic cover variants tease swimsuits for characters such as: Spider-Man Psylocke Black Widow Iron Man Black Panther Cyclops Jean Grey/Phoenix She-Hulk Captain Marvel And more yet to be revealed. According to writer and reporter Miller Ross, the Krakoa Resort skins are "more resort wear" themed and tied to season two, which will end on July 11 when season three begins. Not-so-coincidentally, the first MARVEL SWIMSUIT SPECIAL issue will be launching on July 9, so it's safe to expect the new swimsuit skins to arrive in season three as part of the battle pass or as store items. One thing is for sure: these skins are going to sell quite well, so don't be surprised if your entire lobby starts looking like a pool party later this summer.
