Marvel Rivals Swimsuit Skins Revealed for Summer Festival Vol. 2
Marvel Rivals is getting six new swimsuit skins as part of its Summer Festival 2026 event, arriving with the Season 9.5 update on August 13th. NetEase revealed the full line-up via a trailer posted to X, giving players their first look at the new beach-themed cosmetics coming to the game.
All Marvel Rivals Swimsuit Skins for Summer Festival Vol. 2
Based on the concept art revealed and the image above, here are all six characters getting swimsuit skins, in order of appearance:
- Star Lord
- Winter Soldier
- Scarlett Witch
- Black Cat
- Storm
- Magik
The 7th one I’m not entirely sure. Potentially a gender swapped Namor maybe as it’s the only aquatic humanoid in the game that I’m aware of.l perhaps a new character, who knows?
The concept art is all we have for now, but the designs are already generating buzz. Summer Festival Vol. 2 launches August 13th so a proper in-game look should not be far away.
Marvel Rivals Swimsuit Skins Release Date
The Marvel Rivals Summer Festival Vol. 2 event launches on Thursday August 13th, 2026, coinciding future Season 9.5 patches going live. All six swimsuit skins will be available from that date.
Pricing has not been confirmed yet. Perhaps it will be a swim suit line event, which may only cost the usual special event pass for it. They could cinema a store bundle. Some even came as freebies last year too. Guess we’ll have to wait and see in a few weeks when the swim suit skins hit the store or event pages.
The news came as part of the Season 9.5 dev vlog update over on the game’s website and YouTube account. It mentioned it in passing on when you can expect the update, alongside some new visual and customization changes for Lady Loki, among some other changes.
