The skin is inspired by one of Doctor Strange's most eerie and evil appearances in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie.
NetEase Games has unveiled two eagerly awaited skins that introduce new visual flair to the game's expanding hero lineup. In a development sure to thrill fans of both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Japanese mythology, Doctor Strange and Peter Parker are getting dramatic new appearances, each with unique thematic inspiration. This unveiling further solidifies Marvel Rivals' dedication to providing high-quality, lore-based cosmetics and a consistent flow of interesting content throughout Season 2.
New Skins, Availability, & Price
New Skins:
- Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness: The skin is inspired by one of Doctor Strange's most eerie and evil appearances in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie. Doctor Strange crosses paths with an alternate version of himself in the movie, where he has a zombie-like and decaying body.
- Peni Parker Yatsukahagi:
Peni Parker's new costume, titled Yatsukahagi, has strong roots in Japanese mythology in the form of the Tsuchigumo spirits. These mythical creatures, being giant spiders or demon-like spirits in Japanese tradition, possess supernatural abilities and carry a dark, foreboding aura about them.
