Summary

  • Leaked gameplay footage suggests a Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin is coming to Marvel Rivals.
  • Spider-Man is a challenging Duelist character meant for strategic, targeted gameplay.
  • Multiple leaks hint at more Lunar New Year skins for other Marvel Rivals characters in the future.

A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker recently showed off gameplay footage of a new Spider-Man skin with a Lunar New Year theme. Several leakers have claimed to have found information related to Lunar New Year skins, leading some players to believe that an event associated with the holiday could be coming to Marvel Rivals. The game is currently in the middle of its first big event, Winter Celebration, where several characters received festive skins to celebrate the holiday season.

Spider-Man is a Duelist with a five-star difficulty rating, which means he's likely one of the most challenging characters to master in the popular hero shooter. It's important to note that he's not a brawler. Instead, he's meant to swing around the battlefield picking off targets and dealing damage without getting hit too much himself. Some Marvel Rivals players have found that disabling Automatic Swing within the game's settings has given them more control over Spider-Man's mobility.

A prominent Marvel Rivals leakers share gameplay footage of new Scarlet Witch skins expected to come to NetEase Games' hero shooter.

The popular leaker RivalsInfo posted gameplay footage on Twitter of a new Spider-Man skin they claim is associated with the Lunar New Year. Instead of his usual spandex, the superhero is wearing a looser purple costume with red accents. He's also sporting a hard mask with a similar color scheme and messy white hair. Spider-Man's hands are completely uncovered, which is an uncommon look for the character. This skin has the same design as concept art shared on the official Marvel Rivals Twitter account. It's also rumored that Marvel Rivals' Moon Knight and Squirrel Girl will be receiving new skins associated with the Lunar New Year.

In addition to Spider-Man, RivalsInfo has shared gameplay footage of new Marvel Rivals skins for Magik, Scarlet Witch, and Bruce Banner. While many skins are being leaked, there's no way of knowing how they'll debut within the game. It's possible some of these skins could appear in the title's shop, in an upcoming battle pass, or as rewards for some kind of event. Regardless of how they come to the game, many fans are eager to add more cosmetics to their growing collections.

Leakers have been busy scrounging up any and all information within the game's files. One person recently revealed the full ability kit for Ultron in Marvel Rivals, leading many players to believe the villain will make his debut in the hero shooter very soon. If the leak is true, then Ultron will be a Strategist equipped with powerful drones that allow him to heal allies while dishing out damage to enemies. With so many leaks flying around and Season 1 on the way, many fans are excited about the future of Marvel Rivals.
