"Marvel Rivals Introduces Spider-Man 2 Game Skin"

Marvel Rivals is set to unveil an exciting new skin inspired by *Marvel's Spider-Man 2*, marking a special crossover in celebration of the game’s PC release on January 30. This upcoming Advanced Suit 2.0 skin for Spider-Man will debut in Marvel Rivals on the same day, bringing with it the iconic red-and-blue design that fans have come to love, highlighted by the signature large white spider emblem.

While *Marvel's Spider-Man 2* remains a first-party PlayStation title developed by Insomniac Games, its arrival on PC opens the door for even more fans to experience the game—and Marvel Rivals is joining in the celebration with this exclusive cosmetic addition. Additionally, on January 17, the game will introduce fresh skins for Mantis and Doctor Strange, keeping the momentum going early in the new year.

Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man plays as a high-mobility Duelist, built for aggressive play and maximum damage output. With his five-star difficulty rating, he’s among the most challenging characters to master. Players can utilize his web-zip and web-swing mechanics to traverse maps quickly, dive into combat, reposition, or escape danger. His toolkit includes abilities like webbing enemies, pulling them in, and delivering powerful aerial uppercuts for quick eliminations.

Spider-Man also ties into ongoing seasonal content—such as the Midnight Features questline in Season 1—which encourages players to use the character to unlock in-game rewards. This continued focus on Spider-Man makes the arrival of the Advanced Suit 2.0 skin even more exciting for fans of the hero.

Fan Reactions and Price Concerns

The reveal of the Advanced Suit 2.0 skin was announced via a surprise tweet from NetEase Games, sparking immediate excitement across social media platforms. Fans were especially thrilled to learn that Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Spider-Man in *Marvel's Spider-Man 2*, also lends his voice to the character in Marvel Rivals. However, some players are caught between choosing this new skin and a rumored Lunar New Year variant that may also be on the way.

One concern voiced by the community is the potential cost of the skin. Legendary skins in Marvel Rivals typically retail at 2,200 Units, but MCU-themed versions such as those for Spider-Man and Iron Man are priced higher at 2,600 Units. Whether the Advanced Suit 2.0 will follow suit remains to be seen.

How to Earn In-Game Currency Faster

For players looking to stock up on Units ahead of the skin’s launch, completing the Heroic Journey achievements is a great strategy. By progressing through these challenges, players can earn up to 1,500 Units along with exclusive skins for Storm and Star-Lord. These Units can then be combined with Lattice to purchase any available skin from the in-game store.

With a wave of new cosmetics on the horizon, anticipation continues to build around what other surprises NetEase Games has planned for Marvel Rivals. One thing is certain: there's never been a better time to jump into the action.
