This Marvel Rivals hero is finally getting the skin players wanted

Marvel Rivals has kept players engaged with its bright roster and spectacular cosmetic skins, but one character’s costume has caused a debate: Scarlet Witch. Fans have grown tired of Wanda Maximoff’s overreliance on red-heavy skins, with many believing that her legendary chaos-wielding avatar deserves more diversified looks.

Players on social media have been clamoring for designs that break away from the same crimson palette that dominates her cosmetics, such as the Chaos Gown and Multiverse of Madness skins. “We love Wanda, but not every skin needs to scream red,” one player wrote, echoing a common criticism that the game’s producers relied too heavily on her characteristic color and sacrificed inventiveness.

NetEase Games appears to have taken note, suggesting a new chapter in Scarlet Witch’s style with the upcoming Immortal Sovereign skin, which will be available in-game soon. Here’s how the skin looks and when it comes out.

Marvel Rivals is finally bringing a Legendary Scarlet Witch skin that players have been asking for

In Marvel Rivals, the Immortal Sovereign skin for Scarlet Witch, which will be released on May 22, 2025, at 7 PM PDT, has sparked interest among players. This Japanese folklore-inspired cosmetic, designed by famed artist Peach Momoko, reimagines Wanda Maximoff as a regal sorceress, replacing her distinctive red-heavy palette with exquisite white garments embellished with elaborate gold and red details.

Unlike previous skins lambasted for their constant red domination, this legendary-tier outfit delivers a fresh appearance, complete with unique visual effects and a thorough model overhaul, in keeping with Season 2’s Hellfire Gala theme.

Marvel Rivals Executive Producer Danny Koo confirmed the skin’s legendary rank in a post, raising expectations for its premium features, including exclusive animations and voice lines. While the precise price in Lattice or real currency is unknown, its location in the in-game store’s Featured section indicates a high-value bundle that will certainly appeal to Scarlet Witch fans and collectors alike.

The player response has been largely favorable, where fans lauded the skin as a “stunning” departure from Wanda’s usual designs, while others commended its “ethereal” vibe. However, some players voiced cautious optimism, hoping that the price represents the legendary quality.
