NetEase Games' surprise Twitter announcement confirmed the Advanced Suit 2.0 skin's arrival on January 30th.

Marvel Rivals Announces the Release of the Advanced Suit 2.0
The Advanced Suit 2.0, with its classic red and blue design and prominent white spider symbol, is a highly anticipated cosmetic. Concerns exist regarding its price, potentially mirroring the higher cost of MCU skins (2,600 Units versus the typical 2,200 Units for legendary bundles).
Players aiming to quickly acquire Units for the new skin can pursue the game's Heroic Journey achievements, potentially earning up to 1,500 Units and skins for Storm and Star-Lord. These Units, along with Lattice, can be used to purchase skins from the in-game shop. The anticipation for future cosmetics from NetEase Games is high.
