Marvel Rivals Reveals New Skin, New Map, and Roster Details

As a lifelong Marvel enthusiast who’s been following their universe since the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, I must say that the latest developments about Marvel Rivals have me absolutely thrilled! The new Punisher 2099 skin is a delightful surprise, and it’s clear that NetEase has gone above and beyond to deliver an authentic and exciting experience.


In a matter of weeks, the release of Marvel Rivals is imminent, and NetEase Games is steadily unveiling fresh insights as the big day approaches. The developer has shared some intriguing new tidbits about the game, offering glimpses into features that should have fans buzzing with anticipation. To start off, there’s a brand-new look for the Punisher on the horizon! This new skin will draw inspiration from Jake Gallows, the Punisher of 2099, giving Frank Castle a fresh appearance. Interestingly, this design deviates from the character’s style in the 1993 comic series and appears to be influenced by the cyborg redesign that surfaced in Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis.

NetEase has verified that on December 6th, every initial team member in Marvel Rivals will be available for gameplay. In all, there will be 33 characters to play as, with 27 of them already officially unveiled. These include popular choices such as Spider-Man and Captain America, along with lesser-known picks like Luna Snow and Jeff the Land Shark. We can expect six more characters to be introduced in the coming weeks, making us curious about who will eventually join the roster.

Among the 6 unexpected characters, it’s clear that a formal announcement about Hawkeye is imminent. Eagle-eyed fans have noticed an image of Clint Barton in a gameplay video for Moon Knight, so we eagerly await the full announcement and gameplay unveiling. There are whispers that Doom 2099 might be announced due to his significant presence in the game’s storyline, but at this point, nothing is official. There are still some well-liked Marvel characters missing from the roster, such as Wolverine and Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan). It remains a possibility that we may see them announced, or NetEase might be holding back some big names for after the launch.

Thus far, the response to the Marvel Rivals announcements has been overwhelmingly favorable!
