Marvel Rivals continues to be the talk of the town with its latest lineup of new skins, characters, and features in Season 1. From stunning designs to innovative game modes, this season offers plenty to keep fans engaged. Here’s an in-depth look at the upcoming skins, gameplay, and significant updates.
Psylocke and Winter Soldier Skins Lead the Charge
Season 1 kicks off with the highly anticipated Psylocke and Winter Soldier skins. These skins were initially teased through an image posted by Marvel Rivals, showcasing a lineup of iconic characters like Adam Warlock, Wolverine, Iron Man, and, of course, Psylocke and Winter Soldier. Psylocke’s skin embraces a gothic, vampire-hunter aesthetic, complemented by her gameplay animations and emotes. Meanwhile, Winter Soldier’s transformation into a vampire killer brings a striking visual overhaul, complete with his silver hair and intricate details, such as golden accents and unique melee effects.
Gameplay footage highlights Psylocke’s dynamic abilities and a melee attack for Winter Soldier that leaves a visual slash with bats flying out, marking one of the rare instances of ability-specific visual changes in skins. Both skins are part of the “Blood Parry Bundle” for Psylocke and “Blood Soldier Bundle” for Winter Soldier, available starting January 31st.
