Exciting Costume Customization Feature Coming to Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals is set to introduce a highly anticipated Costume Customization feature in its in-game store tomorrow. However, details regarding what this feature entails have yet to be revealed.

According to NetEase Games, the new feature will be integrated in an update scheduled for April 17, early in the morning. This update promises to bring a palette of new colors for certain heroes and costumes, effectively offering players enhanced customization options through recolors.

New Costume Colors Available

While the exact pricing for these recolored costumes has not been disclosed, it is expected that they will be available for individual purchase. This week’s launch includes some interesting new colors: Rosy Resilience for Magik’s Punkchild costume, Phantom Purple for Psylocke’s Vengeance costume, Plasma Pulse for Luna Snow’s Mirae 2099 costume, and Winter’s Wrath for Winter Soldier’s Revolution costume.

Addressing Missed Opportunities in Costume Customization

Some gamers feel that this rollout of costume customization may represent a missed opportunity for Marvel Rivals. Since its launch, the game has offered various palette swaps for default skins, leading players to question whether this new feature is essentially just an extension of that approach, limited to a select few costumes deemed “favorites” by NetEase.

Could Costume Customization Be More Innovative?

It would have been more exciting if the palette swaps functioned more like shaders, allowing players to change the colorway of multiple skins rather than providing isolated recolors. If these new options operate similarly to previous recolors, they could cost around 600 Units (~€5.50). While the new customization options are optional, many players hope for a more diverse offering this time around.

What to Expect with the New Palette Swaps

As of now, it remains unclear how these costume recolors will be selected for inclusion in the store. It’s likely they will be added periodically as new skins, rather than serving as an entirely separate feature. Gamers will have to wait until the new options are live to see how they differ from existing costume colors.
