Marvel Teases Swimsuit Skins for Rivals Ahead of Summer Comic Special

Marvel is gearing up for its next *Swimsuit Special* comic book release, and it seems NetEase Games’ *Marvel Rivals* will be joining the summer fun with exclusive swimsuit-themed cosmetics.

Details hinting at the potential arrival of highly anticipated *Marvel Rivals* swimsuit skins were recently revealed in an official post on the Marvel website. It announced that Marvel will return to its beloved fan-favorite series on July 9 with the release of *Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1*. While the storyline promises a well-earned break for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes from their world-saving duties, the real excitement lies in the tease of exclusive design previews tied to *Marvel Rivals*.

“Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL,” reads the description for the upcoming issue. “Wasp is on the case and seizes the opportunity for Marvel’s heroes to do their OWN swimwear fashion shoot all over the world! But fear not, True Believers, we know what you’re REALLY here for! This super-sized special features splash page after splash page of gorgeous art—but with a story, so you can pretend you’re ‘reading it for the articles.’”

While specifics about the timing and character lineup for these summer-inspired designs remain under wraps, today’s announcement strongly suggests that *Marvel Rivals* may soon receive its own set of summer-themed cosmetic items. Although there's no direct confirmation that these designs will be released as part of a dedicated swimsuit collection, the thematic connection makes it a logical assumption. More details are expected to surface in the coming months, so fans should stay tuned for updates linking the *Swimsuit Special* to the game.

Since its December launch, *Marvel Rivals* has captivated players across PC and consoles with its fast-paced gameplay and diverse roster of heroes. While many players focus on mastering strategies and climbing leaderboards, others are eagerly anticipating post-launch content—particularly the possibility of a swimsuit-themed cosmetic collection. With this latest update, it looks like those hopes might finally become reality.

As for the release window, clues point toward a possible Season 3 debut sometime in July or August. This aligns with NetEase’s previous roadmap and gives fans a timely summer release before the season ends. Additionally, Season 3 marks the beginning of a new content rollout structure, featuring shorter two-month seasons instead of three-month cycles. That means fresh heroes and content drops every month moving forward.
