Marvel Rivals is giving players more ways to customize their favorite heroes and villains, with developer NetEase announcing costume customization will be added on April 17 at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.
The new feature will add additional color palettes for costumes that players can presumably purchase from the in-game cosmetic store. NetEase's announcement post shows color options with names like "Phantom Purple," Winter's Wrath," and "Rosy Resilience," among others.
A look at some of the color customization options coming to Marvel Rivals.
It's currently unclear how much these color palettes will cost, which currency they can be bought with, if they are universal across all costumes, or if they only work with certain ones. NetEase hasn't provided more details, only that players can "head to the store, grab your unlock, and dive into the look that fits your vibe."
Marvel Rivals Season 2 launched earlier this month, introducing the mutant Emma Frost as a new playable Vanguard hero to mix up the game's meta with her powerful frontline defenses and potent damage-dealing combos. A new map set on the island nation of Krakoa, as well as new Hellfire Gala-themed battle pass, were also added as part of Season 2. The game's next hero, set to be introduced midway through the season, is heavily teased to be Ultron, though NetEase has not officially confirmed whether the villain will be joining the roster in the weeks to come.
Players can currently earn some free cosmetics, including a Namor skin, via the game's Season 2 Twitch Drop promotion. Ahead of Season 2's launch, NetEase announced future seasons would last two months instead of three. That change will also make it so one new playable hero will be released every month as opposed to one new hero every month and a half under the current season cadence.
Despite Marvel Rivals' huge success (NetEase announced the game had seen 20 million players within the first few weeks of launch), some US-based developers on the game were laid off in February. NetEase said the layoffs were for "organizational reasons and to optimize development efficiency for the game."
