Whether you’re smashing through enemies as the tanky Venom or pulling off insane long-range shots with Hawkeye, there’s a character for everyone. And let’s not forget the skins—from simple color swaps to iconic outfits inspired by the MCU, like those from Deadpool, Wolverine, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
With the Winter Celebration update rolling out on December 19, dataminers have uncovered some exciting new looks on the horizon. Let’s dive in!
Lunar New Year Skins Revealed
Thanks to the leaker ‘RivalsLeaks’ on X, we’ve got a sneak peek at some Lunar New Year-themed skins coming soon. Here’s what to expect:
Moon Knight: Lunar General
- A bold, traditional Chinese-inspired look with demon mask vibes and intricate armor details.
- Price: 2,200 Units (discounted from 3,300).
Squirrel Girl: Dragoness
- Features a stylish themed dress, a brand-new hair color, and a scaley tail to tie it all together.
- Price: 1,600 Units (down from 2,200).
While there’s no official release date yet, we’re betting they’ll hit the shop in January, just in time for Lunar New Year on January 29, 2025.
More Skins to Watch Out For
The leaks didn’t stop at Lunar New Year—two other skins are reportedly on the way, and they’re just as epic.
Loki: Dark Demon Armor
- Loki trades in his signature green-and-gold for a darker, more menacing look, complete with demonic armor vibes.
Cloak & Dagger: Color Swap
- This dynamic duo flips their usual colors—Tandy rocks an all-black outfit, while Tyrone sports a white jacket with a lion-like mane for extra flair.
When Can We Expect These?
The Lunar New Year skins are almost certainly dropping in January, but the Loki and Cloak & Dagger outfits are still a mystery. They could appear as part of an upcoming event or simply land in the shop whenever Marvel Rivals decides to surprise us.
Why These Skins Are a Must-Have
Aside from letting you show off your style, skins like these highlight the creativity and depth of Marvel Rivals’ design team. Plus, with some of them being discounted, it’s a great time to grab a new look for your favorite character.
Final Thoughts
Marvel Rivals isn’t just about the action—it’s about looking good while you dominate. These upcoming skins promise to bring a fresh, festive vibe to the game as we head into 2025. So, whether you’re rocking the Lunar General, Dragoness, or keeping an eye out for Loki’s darker side, there’s no shortage of ways to keep your roster looking sharp.
