- Marvel Rivals developers may hold off on releasing an original Agent Venom character due to the leaked skin.
A new Marvel Rivals leak has revealed an unreleased Venom skin, possibly based on Agent Venom from the comics, that might be coming to the game in the near future. While Venom has a few skins in Marvel Rivals, this one seems to be getting a lot more attention, as it has a rather unique appearance compared to the other cosmetics.
Marvel Rivals has been the talk of the town in the past few weeks. While some thought it would turn out to be another generic hero shooter, Marvel Rivals turned out to be a huge success at launch, shattering several records. Currently, the game has a total of 33 heroes, including fan favorites like Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and Scarlet Witch, among others. As players wait for the new season to arrive early next year, it seems like some upcoming skins have been leaked.
Marvel Rivals Players Are Getting Frustrated With Cheaters in Ranked
Some Marvel Rivals players share their frustrations after facing cheaters multiple times in the popular live service game's Ranked matches.
In a new tweet, a popular leaker RivalsLeaks reveals an interesting skin that might be coming to Marvel Rivals. The user posted a picture of an alleged new Venom skin which gives him quite a different appearance altogether. While many were confused about what the skin is based on, it seems like the avid comic fans were quick to join the dots and figure out that it is actually an adaptation of Agent Venom. Although the skin gives Venom an even more ferocious look, fans aren't entirely happy about it.
Marvel Rivals' Leaked Agent Venom Skin Leaves Fans Unhappy
The disappointment stems from the fact that many players were expecting that Marvel Rivals would have Agent Venom as a standalone character. This is because Agent Venom has a plethora of other abilities that make it quite different from Venom, and fans of the comic think it deserves more attention than merely being a Venom skin. Unlike Marvel Rivals' Venom, Agent Venom also has weapons such as guns which he can use, and many were looking forward to seeing him as a Duelist character in the game.
Additionally, it is crucial to note that this alleged Agent Venom skin isn't entirely true to the original. The Marvel Rivals adaptation of Agent Venom seems a lot bulkier with some spikes around it. Fans noted that this skin looks great, but the issue is that if the developers add this, it might lead to them not releasing an original Agent Venom skin or standalone character altogether. That being said, it is pivotal to note that all leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, so the possibility of an Agent Venom character being released cannot be entirely ruled out. Not to forget, with rumors suggesting that an Agent Venom movie is in development, maybe the developers are holding off the character's release for a potential collaboration in the future.
