Summary

Leaked footage shows Doctor Strange in a white robe with teal accents, possibly hinting at a Lunar New Year event.
Some fans feel that MCU skins in the game are overpriced, with new bundles costing up to $26, making other skins more appealing.

A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker took to social media to post gameplay footage of a new skin for Doctor Strange, which could be coming to the game soon. As Season 0 comes to a close, fans are busy discussing the future of Marvel Rivals. While the game already has a large roster of 33 characters, many players are expecting that Season 1 will debut with new heroes and possibly even more maps.

Doctor Strange is one of the game's popular Vanguards, meaning he has a robust health pool and a wide range of powers meant to keep his team from harm. When allies are in trouble, the hero has the ability to hold up a magical shield in front of him, protecting a large area from attacks. The barrier has 800 health that regenerates when not in use, but it's important to note that this ability does not protect him or his allies from melee attacks. Doctor Strange can also create portals in Marvel Rivals, which allows him to cleverly reposition players anywhere on the map.

Popular leaker RivalsInfo posted a short gameplay video on Twitter that features a first look at a new skin for Doctor Strange. In the clip, the hero wears loose white robes with teal accents and markings. His typically short dark hair is long, flowing, and fashioned with a top knot. Ribbons of wispy red energy flow from the robe's sleeves and behind the hero's shoulders. The skin appears to be unfinished, as the arms look very stiff and unnatural when the character moves around. Some players believe this cosmetic may belong to a rumored Lunar New Year event, which could be coming to the game soon. Many fans have speculated that the holiday may bring a variety of cosmetics with it, including a new skin for the Strategist Loki in Marvel Rivals.

It was also recently leaked that Marvel Rivals' Doctor Strange could receive a zombie skin inspired by the MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. There's no telling if or when the cosmetic might release, but many fans are hoping they won't have to wait until the Halloween season to get their hands on the spooky skin. Scarlet Witch currently has a bundle in the shop based on her outfit from the same movie.

While many fans are happy to see new cosmetics based on the blockbuster films, some feel the MCU skins are overpriced in Marvel Rivals. When NetEase Games releases a new bundle labeled "Legendary," it typically comes with a price tag of 2,200 Units, which roughly translates to $22. However, recent Iron Man and Spider-Man MCU bundles with the same label cost 2,600 Units. Many players feel the markup is arbitrary, unnecessary, and makes Marvel Rivals' other skins more appealing. Despite the controversy surrounding the price of MCU cosmetics, many fans are excited to see more skins come to the game soon.
