Marvel Rivals Season 2 Brings More Team-Up Skills and Skins

Get ready for a power surge in Marvel Rivals! Season 2 is bringing exciting changes to team-up skills and brand-new skins for Spider-Man and Iron Man. Read on to discover what NetEase has planned.

Upcoming Updates for Marvel Rivals

Revamped Team-Up Skills

Marvel Rivals Game Director Guangyun Chen revealed major team-up skill adjustments for Season 2 in a March 14th interview with PC Gamer. He stated, "Starting from Season 2, we will introduce new Team-Up skills with the seasonal update and adjust some existing ones. This, along with overall balance adjustments, will create a fresh combat experience."

Currently, the game boasts 17 team-up skills, including Ragnarok Rebirth (Hela, Loki/Thor), Lunar Force (Cloak & Dagger, Moon Knight), and Allied Agents (Hawkeye, Black Widow). Balancing these skills with the growing roster will be a significant challenge for NetEase.

Hero Balancing: A Continuous Effort

Chen also addressed the ongoing hero balancing process. He explained, "We closely monitor key metrics like win rates, pick rates, damage, healing, and final blows across Quick Match and Competitive Modes. This data, combined with analysis of hero lineup compositions and community feedback, guides our balancing decisions."

With a new hero planned for each half of the three-month season (eight heroes annually), maintaining balance is a constant evolution. Chen confirmed that Season 2 content is ready, and Seasons 3 and 4 are in advanced development, reflecting NetEase's ten-year commitment to the game.

Spider-Punk 2099 and Steam Power Iron Man Arrive March 20th

NetEase announced on March 18th (via Marvel Rivals' official Twitter/X account) the arrival of new Spider-Man and Iron Man skins on March 20th at 7 PM PDT / 10 PM EDT / March 21st at 2:00 AM UTC. Spider-Man's "Spider-Punk 2099" skin features a futuristic look with a digital mask, spiked mohawk, and electric guitar. Iron Man's "Steam Power" skin boasts a steampunk aesthetic, complete with large exhaust pipes and a burning furnace on his chest.

These skins, previously seen in the closed beta, join Loki's Presidential attire in making the transition to the live game. While the release date is confirmed, pricing details remain undisclosed.

As Season 1 concludes, NetEase gears up for Season 2's exciting updates. Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates!
