New Marvel Rivals Outfit Bundles and Doctor Strange Skin Arrive
Exciting additions are heading to Marvel Rivals this week with the launch of two new outfit bundles, headlined by a brand-new Doctor Strange skin. Players in the UK can anticipate the arrival of the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Bundle and the Peni Parker – Yatsukahagi Bundle on April 18, with a release scheduled for 3am BST. Due to time zone differences, US-based fans can access the content on April 17 at 7pm PDT.
A detailed preview of the new Doctor Strange skin is available further below. The release timings were officially announced alongside the patch notes for the most recent Marvel Rivals game update.
Colour Customisation Feature Launched for Marvel Rivals Costumes
NetEase, the developer behind Marvel Rivals, has announced on the game’s official website that colour customisation options for character costumes are now live following the latest update.
“Venture into the store to apply vibrant colour variations to your favourite outfits!” NetEase stated. “Once purchased, colour selections can be effortlessly modified within the Costumes menu.”
In a post on X, NetEase further clarified that custom colour palettes for costumes will be priced at 600 Unstable Molecules. Players are required to own the base costume before unlocking colour customisation.
“Initially, this feature will be accessible for a limited selection of costumes, with plans to broaden its availability to encompass more costumes over time.”
“Colour adjustments will dynamically affect Intro Animations, MVP displays, and Emotes,” the developer confirmed.
Players can anticipate expanded avenues for acquiring Unstable Molecules in Season 3. With Season 2 having commenced just last week, fans are looking at an extended wait for these additional acquisition methods.
The latest game update, detailed in the patch notes below, also addresses a camera perspective issue experienced upon respawning and introduces support for Razer Chroma RGB lighting technology and Razer Sensa HD Haptics.
