Summary

  • An upcoming Peni Parker skin concept for Marvel Rivals has fans excited and waiting for its official debut.
  • Fans are hoping to see more Vanguards and Strategists, with leaks suggesting The Thing and Ultron could join the game.
  • Players are busy creating concept art for Marvel Rivals characters, while some leaks hint at skins for Moon Knight and Squirrel Girl.

A prominent artist took to social media to post an impressive new skin concept for Peni Parker that will be coming to Marvel Rivals at some point in the future. NetEase Games recently celebrated the addition of 20 million players to Marvel Rivals since its launch in early December. With so many players enjoying the game, more and more people have expressed excitement about upcoming characters and skins.

Peni Parker is a major character within the Spider-Verse, and she plays the role of a Vanguard within Marvel Rivals. While Vanguards can certainly dish out damage when they need to, they're primarily tanks focused on taking damage and protecting the rest of their team from harm. Many fans are hoping to see more Vanguards and Strategists in the game soon, as some players feel the hero shooter is overrun with Duelists. Fortunately, one leaker revealed that The Thing could be coming to Marvel Rivals as a Vanguard in the near future.

Over on Instagram, Princessmomoko60 posted concept art for a new Peni Parker skin several weeks before the hero shooter made its debut. The art recently gained attention once again when a fan posted it to Reddit, where many players absolutely loved the design, saying they cannot wait for it to make its official debut within the game. Since the Marvel Rivals account tweeted about the design back in September, fans may not have to wait long. Princessmomoko60's portrayal of Peni Parker features the young girl with pigtails and a fluffy white hood. Meanwhile, Peni's mech is still primarily red, but sports a large face on both its head and chest. Fans have also been busy creating concept art for both skins and characters they want to see in the game, like one artist who drew Gambit in the Marvel Rivals art style. While not official, many fans are hoping to see such artists gain recognition from NetEase Games.

Marvel Rivals Upcoming Peni Parker Skin

Some characters like Moon Knight, Squirrel Girl, and Venom have had future skins leaked, but there hasn't been much news for fans of Peni Parker. Since she's one of the most popular Vanguards in the game, many gamers are hoping to see more cosmetics for her soon. She's not the only member of the Spider-Verse that has proven to be popular with players, as one fan recently revealed their concept for a crossover between Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel Rivals.

While some fans are spending their time creating concept art for characters, others are keeping busy by digging through the game's files. One leaker recently revealed that fans may soon be able to play as Ultron in Marvel Rivals. If the leak is true, the villain may come to the title as a Strategist who can use drones to both heal allies and inflict harm on enemies. This would make Ultron a very valuable addition to the game's roster, as many players want more Strategists to choose from. With so much on the horizon for Marvel Rivals, many fans are excited about the future of the hero shooter.
