Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with the upcoming Marvel Swimsuit Special comic book, set to hit the shelves on July 9. Titled "Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1," this issue promises a refreshing break for Earth's Mightiest Heroes from their world-saving duties. More intriguingly, it teases a sneak peek at potential swimsuit designs for the popular game, Marvel Rivals, developed by NetEase Games.
According to a recent post on the Marvel website, the comic will feature Roxxon Comics releasing an unauthorized swimsuit special, prompting Wasp to organize a global swimwear fashion shoot for Marvel's heroes. The special is described as a "super-sized" edition, filled with stunning art and a compelling story, catering to fans who enjoy both the visuals and the narrative.
While the post does not confirm the inclusion of these designs as part of a specific swimsuit set for Marvel Rivals, the thematic connection suggests that summer-themed cosmetics could be on the horizon. Fans eagerly await more details on how this special ties into the game, with hopes that future updates will shed more light on this exciting crossover.
Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has captivated multiplayer enthusiasts on both PC and consoles with its competitive gameplay and diverse character roster. As players strategize to climb the ranks, the community buzzes with anticipation for NetEase's post-launch plans, particularly the much-anticipated swimsuit collection. With the recent announcement, it seems that fans' wishes are set to be fulfilled soon.

As for the timing of these new skins, clues point towards their introduction with Season 3 of Marvel Rivals, expected around July or August. This aligns with the end of Season 2, which introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala, and is set to conclude in about three months. The timing is perfect, allowing fans to enjoy the new outfits just before the summer ends.
Season 3 will also mark a shift in NetEase's post-launch strategy, with seasons now lasting approximately two months instead of three. This change promises a more frequent introduction of new playable heroes, ensuring continuous excitement for the game's community.
