New Marvel Rivals leak brings awesome manga skins in upcoming collab

Marvel Rivals has engaged its players with dynamic hero shooter action and a stunning assortment of character skins. These cosmetic skins have been a big hit, allowing fans to personalize their favorite Marvel characters with iconic looks from comics, films, and unique concepts.

Players can’t get enough of these new interpretations from Spider-Man’s punk-inspired Spider-Punk 2099 to Storm’s regal Goddess of Thunder. Fans are reacting on social media, complimenting the creativity—such as Iron Man’s industrial Steam Power armor—and showing off their collections in ranked battles.

Fans are also hooked on freebies like Black Widow’s Mrs. Barnes skin and Groot’s Carved Traveler from events, while premium bundles keep the frenzy alive. Now, anticipation is growing for a new manga collaboration that promises much more with outfits designed by superstar artist Peach Momoko who is renowned for her Psylocke design in the game.

Upcoming Marvel Rivals manga will bring three Japanese-themed skins to the game

Marvel Rivals has announced an upcoming manga series called Ignite #1 which will feature art by Peach Momoko and will take heroes back in time into medieval Japan. The one-shot will reveal three new skins, hinting at a blend of Marvel flare and manga artwork that will undoubtedly excite fans when they arrive in-game.

Leaks have further shown how these outfits will look once they’re added to the game and three heroes, namely Luna Snow, Hela, and Punisher are said to get these outfits first. However, players may also expect skins for Peni Parker, Spider-Man, and Venom, which will be introduced at a later date. The concept designs were leaked on Reddit and were designed by Momoko herself.

Fans are excited about the new Luna Snow skin, with many intending to purchase it, and there is anticipation that it will be utilized for in-game events such as the Hellfire Gala. Along with the excitement, there is a promotional giveaway of game-related stuff. There is also significant criticism regarding Luna Snow’s marketing prominence, with some fans seeing her as a ‘cash cow’ for the game.

Marvel Games Executive Producer Danny Koo also shared the announcement regarding the one-shot manga that is due to be released in June 2025. This means that players will highly likely get the skins in the game during Marvel Rivals Season 2 or beyond in the store. However if NetEase tends to take the same approach Epic Games took with Fortnite comics by granting players free skins, it would massively open up a huge market for fans to buy physical comics as well.
