Leaks suggest several Marvel Rivals heroes will be getting new skins with Squirrel Girl’s upcoming look grabbing the most attention from fans.
Marvel Rivals Heroes Will Get New Skins
It’s no secret that one very popular aspect of Marvel Rivals is the game’s customization options. Heroes often come with multiple skins and the title’s devs are planning to release new ones in the future. And it seems that Squirrel Girl, Moon Knight, Loki, and other fans will soon hear good news, as recent leaks show the character will receive some new cosmetics.
It seems that out of all these players, Squirrel Girl mains will be the most delighted, as the character’s Cheerful Dragoness skin has already got the praise of many. As you might infer from the name, this cosmetic is based on a traditional jade-colored garb with a pair of red horns and a scaly pink tail. One might say she’s more of a Dragon Girl now.
It is definitely a unique look and is a far departure from the usual steampunk aesthetic of the Marvel Rivals hero. Despite that, it seems to have already captured the eye of many fans. A lot of them are already vowing to buy the cosmetic item.
What About Prices?
Speaking of which, according to the leaks, the Cheerful Dragoness Bundle will cost 2,200 Units which equates to around $24. It’s definitely on the more expensive side when it comes to cosmetics, but fortunately for fans, the leaks also suggest there’s going to be a discount price of 1,600 Units (around $18). Still, at least Squirrel Girl’s skin is far cheaper than that of Moon Knight, which is said to cost 3,300 units without a discount and 2,200 with one.
With prices like this, it’s no wonder that some fans are a bit disgruntled, despite liking the aesthetic of the skin. Many praised the design and color scheme, but were unhappy with the rather high price, noting even the discounted cost is a bit high. “”Discounted” might as well just be labeled as original”, one fan joked.
With this being the case, the leaks garnered some discussion in the game’s community. This goes on top of the already lively criticism the devs have been receiving on other aspects of the game. One of these is Marvel Rivals having atrocious map RNG, which has often trumped players trying to complete various in-game challenges.
Regardless of the controversies surrounding Squirrel Girl’s skin, some fans are already poised to pay for the cosmetic item. However, it’s unknown how long they will have to wait as the Marvel Rivals devs have not yet announced an official date for its release. But considering the fact the aesthetic is based on Chinese mythology, some suggest the skin will be released around Chinese New Year – January 29, 2025.
For now, fans will just have to wait and see.
