Summary

Doctor Strange is receiving a new skin based on his appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
While there’s no official price for the cosmetic bundle, it is expected to release on April 17 at 7 PM PDT.
Peni Parker will also be receiving a new skin based on a design by the popular artist Peach Momoko.

Marvel Rivals has released gameplay footage of the new Doctor Strange skin modeled after his zombie form in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. NetEase Games recently released Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, which introduced Emma Frost as a new Vanguard. Ultron will also be added to the ever-expanding roster of the popular hero shooter during a major mid-season update.

NetEase Games made a lot of balance changes leading up to Season 2, and players are starting to see the impact of those alterations. The win rates of Marvel Rivals heroes were recently revealed, which contained a few surprises. While Rocket Raccoon initially seemed like he was receiving multiple nerfs ahead of Season 2, he actually has the second-highest win rate out of all the characters, trailing right behind Mister Fantastic. Some people believe this could be due to a major change made to his ultimate ability, which normally provided a 40% damage boost to his teammates. Now, the damage boost has been reduced to 25%, but the ability provides a substantial amount of healing to all teammates linked to it. While allies might not be dishing out as much damage as before, their survivability has certainly increased.

Marvel Rivals players aren't happy about certain characters reloading.

Marvel Rivals Players Want a Major Change Made to Reloading

Marvel Rivals fans express their dissatisfaction with the way some characters are forced to reload abilities in NetEase Games’ popular hero shooter.

In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games gave fans their first look at a new skin for Marvel Rivals‘ Doctor Strange, inspired by the MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The new cosmetic bundle, which includes a skin, nameplate, spray, emote, and MVP screen, is expected to release on April 17 at 7 PM PDT. The costume gives Doctor Strange a zombie makeover, showing off his decayed skin, torn suit, and numerous hands surrounding his head. His cape has also taken on a dark, wispy appearance, giving the hero a sinister look.

Marvel Rivals Showcases a New MCU Skin for Doctor Strange

Many fans seem to be excited about the new skin, as it’s very different from any of Doctor Strange’s other costumes. However, some gamers are disappointed that the hero received some nerfs ahead of Season 2. Marvel Rivals Peni Parker will also be receiving a new skin based on artwork by Peach Momoko. As of writing, there’s no official word about just how much either cosmetic bundle will cost.

Fans looking to acquire more skins should jump right into Season 2, as players who complete nine matches will be rewarded with the free Chaos Gown costume for Scarlet Witch. Gamers can also earn free skins for Magik and Iron First in Marvel Rivals by earning Chrono Tokens and leveling up their battle pass. Fans can claim these costumes without purchasing the battle pass for Season 2: Hellfire Gala. With a whole new season to explore and even more updates on the way, many players are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
