Summary
A new leak suggests thatMarvel Rivalscould be getting Symbiote-themed skins soon. So far,Marvel Rivalshas been a big success, thanks in no small part to the many different characters and alternate costumes NetEase Games adds on a regular basis. The next majorMarvel Rivalscharacter to be introduced will be Ultron, who will debut as a Strategist character on May 30.
Recent leaks have also hinted at popular X-Men members Rogue and Gambit finally being added toMarvel Rivals, much to the excitement of players who think their move sets would be a great fit for the game’s frantic, team-based multiplayer action. Of course, NetEase has also been introducing alternate costumes for the heroes and villains who are already inMarvel Rivals, with theAvengers’ resident archer Hawkeyegetting a free cyborg-like “Binary Arrow” skin and Groot set to receive a new Norse-inspired “Yggroot” skin on May 30.
Venom is already a part of theMarvel Rivalsroster, and a new leak hints that a few other characters could be infected by his infamous Symbiote soon. As reported byComicBook.com, a team of dataminers called X0XLeak recently shared leaked audio files of Captain America, Rocket Raccoon, Storm, and Moon Knight on Twitter, and they all seem to indicate that the characters in question have been brought under the sway ofSpider-Man’s old black costume.
These Marvel Rivals Characters Could be Getting Symbiote Costumes
At one point, Captain America proudly calls himself “Captain Klyntar,” a reference to the planet where the Venom Symbiote and its brethren hail from. Rocket cautiously tells his new “partner” to bite their enemies instead of him, while Storm appears to relish her newfound power. Meanwhile, Moon Knight tells his master Khonshu that he could get “used to this,” also hinting that he has come under thepower of a Symbiote inMarvel Rivals. However, there are currently no images of these hypothetical Symbiote skins, and it isn’t guaranteed that the leaked audio will be used at all.
Previous rumors have hinted that Knull, the twisted ruler of the Symbiotes, could be themain villain of the nextMarvel Rivalsseasonafter Ultron, and these rumored Symbiote skins would be a perfect match if this is the case. Almost every major character has been infected by a Symbiote in the comics as well, so there would be no shortage of inspiration should NetEase decide to go this route for the next big wave ofMarvel Rivalscontent.
