Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with the Marvel Swimsuit Special comic book, and it seems that NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals is set to dive into the summer vibes with new swimsuit skins.
A recent post on the Marvel website has teased what might lead to the introduction of highly anticipated Marvel Rivals swimsuit cosmetics. Scheduled for release on July 9, Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1 promises a delightful break for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes from their world-saving duties. More intriguingly, the comic hints at showcasing designs for Marvel Rivals.

The description for the Marvel Swimsuit Special reads, "Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL. Wasp is on the case and seizes the opportunity for Marvel’s heroes to do their OWN swimwear fashion shoot all over the world! But fear not, True Believers, we know what you’re REALLY here for! This super-sized special features splash page after splash page of gorgeous art, but with a story so you can pretend you’re ‘reading it for the articles…’"
While Marvel hasn't provided specifics on the launch date of these summer designs or which characters will feature in the collection, the context suggests that summer-themed cosmetics might be part of the mix. We can expect more details on the Marvel Swimsuit Special in the coming months, hopefully shedding light on its connection to Marvel Rivals.
Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has captivated multiplayer gaming fans on both PC and consoles with its competitive edge and diverse character roster. As players strategize to climb the ranks, there's a growing anticipation for NetEase’s post-launch content, particularly the possibility of a Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection, which now appears to be on the horizon.

As for when these swimsuits might become available, clues suggest that they could align with Marvel Rivals Season 3. With Season 2, featuring Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, having just started, and expected to wrap up in about three months, it's plausible that the new swimwear will debut with Season 3 around July or August. This timeline aligns with NetEase’s planned schedule and allows fans to enjoy the summer-themed outfits just before the season ends.
Moreover, Season 3 will mark the beginning of shorter, two-month seasons for Marvel Rivals, promising a new playable hero each month.
