NetEase Games has given Marvel Rivals players their first look at gameplay of the new Steam Power skin for Iron Man, which is scheduled to release on March 20 at 7 PM PDT. With Season 1 coming to a close, many fans are already clamoring to know more about Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, which is rumored to release on April 11.
Iron Man is one of Marvel Rivals' infamous flying Duelists, a group that has become a point of frustration for a large portion of the community. While there are plenty of ways for ranged heroes to counter flying characters, many Vanguard players are upset with their lack of options when it comes to handling these highly mobile foes. With the release of Human Torch, who has a team-up with Storm, the issue seems to have become even more prominent.
Marvel Rivals Player Racks Up Over 100 Hours With Just One Character
One Marvel Rivals fan manages to spend over 100 hours playing a single character in the popular hero shooter made by NetEase Games.
In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games gave players their first look at the upcoming Steam Power skin for Iron Man in Marvel Rivals. The costume gives the hero a steampunk makeover and showcases a bulky, copper set of armor instead of the usual sleek red and gold color scheme. When Iron Man amplifies his power, the accessories that appear on his back have glowing coils, which fit with the theme of the outfit. He even appears to have a furnace on his chest, giving Tony Stark another way to fuel his suit. He even has large exhaust pipes sprouting from his shoulders to vent smoke.
Marvel Rivals’ ‘Steam Power’ Skin for Iron Man Releases March 20
The skin appears to include an emote where the Steam Power suit malfunctions and Iron Man gives it a quick fix. The cosmetic bundle will also come with a unique MVP screen that shows the hero soaring through the sky before his arms transform into massive energy cannons and the animation freezes. While most bundles also come with a spray and nameplate, those were not shown in the brief trailer. While there's no official word on just how much the skin will cost, leakers claim the bundle will be priced at 1,600 Units in Marvel Rivals. Players will be able to purchase the cosmetics when they arrive in the store on March 20 at 7 PM PDT.
Marvel Rivals' Steam Power suit won't be released alone, as Spider-Man is also scheduled to receive a new skin called Spider-Punk 2099. This outfit gives the hero a futuristic makeover that features a digital mask and a brightly-colored mohawk. Earlier in Season 1, NetEase Games also released punk-themed bundles for Magik and Hulk, with leakers claiming that something similar will soon be released for Squirrel Girl. With so much content just around the corner and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
