Marvel Rivals is set to welcome an exciting lineup of swimsuit-clad superheroes, and it’s about time that Jeff the Landshark isn’t the only one diving into aquatic fun!
Namor the Submariner also has a fondness for watery escapades, but the upcoming costumes in Marvel Rivals seem to focus more on the heroes donning swimsuits rather than the waters themselves—if you get the idea. NetEase Games clearly understands gamers’ preferences and aims to elevate the expression of individuality through in-game cosmetics in this compelling hero shooter.
Marvel Rivals Swimsuit Skins are officially on the way, and we’re here to give you all the juicy details about their anticipated release later this year.
Complete List of Swimsuit Skins in Marvel Rivals
Currently, the only confirmed swimsuit skins in Marvel Rivals are featured in the Krakoa Resort series, as teased in the Marvel Rivals Infinity comic series. Expect these resort-themed skins to hit the in-game store during season two. The first batch includes:
- Jeff the Land Shark
- Rocket Raccoon
- Squirrel Girl
- The Thing
Jeff looks adorable in his tropical shirt and lei, while Rocket and Squirrel Girl embrace their beach vibes. And as for The Thing, well, he might just gain a few amusing new titles with this skin—like The Thong or The G-String.
Moreover, Marvel has confirmed the addition of swimsuit costumes inspired by MARVEL SWIMSUIT SPECIAL: FRIENDS, FOES & RIVALS #1, which is set to release on July 9. This is where things are bound to get intriguing and quite steamy!
As Marvel describes it, the Marvel Swimsuit Special serves as an artist showcase featuring pinups from top industry talents in a magazine-style layout, complete with playful articles and descriptions. Each year brings a lighthearted plot that transports heroes to various settings, ranging from the jungles of the Savage Land to the beaches of Monster Island.
This marks the first Swimsuit Special comic by Marvel in three decades, the previous one dating back to 1995. The artwork and variant comic covers tease swimsuit designs for popular characters, including:
- Spider-Man
- Psylocke
- Black Widow
- Iron Man
- Black Panther
- Cyclops
- Jean Grey/Phoenix
- She-Hulk
- Captain Marvel
- And several more yet to be revealed.
As reported by writer and journalist Miller Ross, the Krakoa Resort skins are themed around “resort wear” and are tied to season two, which concludes on July 11. Coincidentally, the first issue of the MARVEL SWIMSUIT SPECIAL will be released just two days earlier, on July 9. Thus, it’s safe to anticipate the new swimsuit skins debuting in season three as part of the battle pass or as store items.
One thing is for certain: these skins are likely to be a hit, so don’t be surprised if your lobby resembles a vibrant pool party later this summer!
