Marvel Rivals is now out, and it has taken over the world of gaming thanks to the perfect combination between earth’s mightiest superheroes and excellent multiplayer, hero shooter gameplay established by Overwatch. There will be a lot of great new characters and costumes added to the game in the future, and NetEase has just announced the release time for two new stunning skins coming to Marvel Rivals very soon.
Right now we are in pre-season as the roadmap reveals that Season 1 isn’t set to start until early January. While the developers haven’t announced everything coming to the game, a leaker has claimed an “iconic” supervillain is joining sooner than players realize. In addition, we recently conducted an interview with the game’s director, and they discussed why and how Marvel Rivals will succeed where Concord failed.
The game has only just recently come out, and it is poised to have an excellent 2025 with the beginning of Season 1. However, before the new year even begins, NetEase has announced the release time for two new skins that you will definitely want to grab if you’re a fan of Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Marvel Rivals release time for Thor and Star-Lord skins
On the official MarvelRivals X account, the developer has revealed that skins are on the way for Thor and Star-Lord. Both of these costumes will become available on December 12th at 11PM PT, as well as 2AM ET/7AM GMT on December 13th.
The Thor outfit is based on the costume Chris Hemsworth donned in the Love and Thunder movie from Taika Waititi. Meanwhile, the new drip for Star-Lord is a Master of the Sun outfit seen in comic books rather than the trilogy of Guardians of the Galaxy films from James Gunn.
Both outfits look amazing! Love and Thunder wasn’t a good movie at all, but at least the skin adds to the collection of other MCU outfits confirmed for the game:
- Star-Lord – Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Rocket Racoon – Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Groot – Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Mantis – Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Adam Warlock – Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Namor – Black Panther Wakanda Forever
- God Loki – Loki Season 2
- Scarlet Witch – Doctor Stranger Multiverse of Madness
- Spider-Man (Iron Spider) – Spider-Man No Way Home
- Wolverine – Deadpool and Wolverine
- Black Widow (White Suit) – Black Widow
