Marvel Rivals has thrilled fans with the announcement of a new skin inspired by the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, set to launch on January 30.

In Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man serves as a Duelist, focusing on maximizing damage output during matches. With a challenging five-star difficulty rating, mastering Spider-Man requires skill and practice. Players can utilize his web-zip and web-swing abilities to navigate the map swiftly, engage in combat, and retreat efficiently. Spider-Man's arsenal includes webbing enemies, pulling them in for close combat, and delivering powerful uppercuts for knockouts. Season 1 of Marvel Rivals features a Midnight Features quest that encourages players to use Spider-Man to earn exclusive rewards.
NetEase Games made the exciting announcement on Twitter, revealing that the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be available as a legendary skin in Marvel Rivals starting January 30. The announcement was met with enthusiasm from the gaming community, particularly due to Yuri Lowenthal reprising his role as Spider-Man in both titles. However, some fans find themselves torn between the Advanced Suit 2.0 and a rumored Lunar New Year Spider-Man skin that might soon be added to Marvel Rivals.

The Advanced Suit 2.0 showcases the classic red and blue colors with the distinctive large white spider symbol, a signature element of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man.
