Summary

  • A new Marvel Rivals leak reveals an upcoming skin for Winter Soldier, with a silver and black coat and no mask.
  • Fans are excited about Winter Soldier's new skin which also comes with a golden arm.
  • Players can earn in-game currency through achievements and quests to acquire new cosmetics in Marvel Rivals.

A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker recently shared footage of a new skin for Winter Soldier, who is one of the hero shooter's 35 playable characters. Marvel Rivals is currently in the middle of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, which features The Fantastic Four leading the charge against Dracula's forces in an effort to save New York City.

As a Duelist, Marvel Rivals' Winter Soldier seeks to eliminate as many foes as possible, forcing the opposing team to defend themselves from his unwavering onslaught. The most powerful tool in his deadly arsenal is his ultimate, Kraken Impact, which has the potential to KO every enemy in sight. When activated, Winter Soldier leaps into the air and crashes down, using his bionic arm to deal a significant amount of damage to his target. If the foe is eliminated by the attack or shortly after, he can use this move again and again, potentially wiping out an entire team.

NetEase Games surprises fans by announcing that players will soon be able to participate in a new Spring Festival event within Marvel Rivals.

In a recent post on Twitter, popular leaker RivalsInfo revealed gameplay of a new skin for Winter Soldier, which they claim will be available in the near future. The video shows the hero without his usual face mask and wearing a tattered black coat with silver accents. One sleeve is missing to accommodate his gleaming gold arm and, as the camera pans around, one can see that Winter Soldier is sporting a short white haircut. This new skin was recently featured in a Marvel Rivals Gallery Card, which was given to players as a reward for completing Chapter 4 of the game's Midnight Features quests.

Marvel Rivals Leak Features a New Winter Soldier Skin

Many fans were ecstatic about the new look for Winter Soldier, stating that they were happy to see the hero without a mask. Some were also enthusiastic about his fresh golden arm, saying it felt in keeping with the aesthetic of Season 1's battle pass characters. It's rumored that gamers will be able to acquire the entire cosmetic bundle for 1,600 Units. RivalsInfo also posted gameplay of a new skin for Psylocke in Marvel Rivals, who was shown in the same Gallery Card that teased Winter Soldier.

Fans looking to accrue some of Marvel Rivals' Units might consider chasing down achievements within the hero shooter. A wide variety of the game's Heroic Journey challenges reward players with a sizable amount of currency, with certain Midnight Features quests also rewarding gamers with small portions of Units. Fans can also supplement their purchases with Lattice, the title's premium currency. With so many new cosmetics on the way, many fans are excited about collecting even more skins in Marvel Rivals.
