Marvel is set to splash into summer with a new Swimsuit Special comic book, and it appears that NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals will join the fun with its own set of summer-themed skins. A recent post on the Marvel website has teased fans with details about the upcoming Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1, slated for release on July 9. This issue promises to give Earth’s Mightiest Heroes a well-deserved break from their world-saving duties and offers a tantalizing glimpse at potential designs for Marvel Rivals.
The comic's plot revolves around Roxxon Comics releasing an unauthorized swimsuit special, prompting Wasp to organize a global swimwear fashion shoot for Marvel’s heroes. The issue promises stunning art and a storyline that fans can enjoy, whether they're in it for the visuals or the narrative.
While the post doesn't confirm the inclusion of these designs as skins in Marvel Rivals, the thematic connection suggests that summer-themed cosmetics might be on the horizon. More details are expected in the coming months, and fans are eager to see how this ties into the game.
Marvel Rivals, launched in December, has quickly become a favorite among multiplayer enthusiasts on PC and consoles. Its competitive gameplay and diverse character roster have kept players engaged, with many hoping for new content like the rumored swimsuit collection, which seems poised to become a reality.

Hints about the timing of these swimsuit skins can be gleaned from recent updates. Marvel Rivals Season 2, which introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, is set to conclude in about three months. This suggests that the new outfits could launch with Season 3, potentially around July or August, aligning perfectly with the end of summer.
Season 3 will also introduce shorter, two-month seasons, promising a new playable hero each month. Fans can keep up with the latest from Marvel Rivals, including the amusing April Fools' Day emote featuring Venom’s twerk, or learn how NetEase canonized an infamous Moon Knight meme.
