Marvel Rivals and NetEase Games dazzle fans with new Peach Momoko skins and Retro X-Uniform, igniting excitement for Galacta's Gift event.

As the digital sun sets on another season of Marvel Rivals, NetEase Games unveils two magnificent skins that will grace the popular hero shooter's shop come May 15. The Dangan Ronin skin for The Punisher, a breathtaking creation by the acclaimed artist Peach Momoko, presents the vigilante in formidable Japanese-themed armor. This artistic marvel follows Momoko's previous collaborations, where she breathed life into the costumes of Peni Parker, Spider-Man, and Loki. Simultaneously, Namor, the Sub-Mariner, dons the Retro X-Uniform, a design echoing the classic aesthetics of the X-Men, complete with the iconic yellow, blue, and black attire and a prominent 'X' emblazoned on his belt. This sartorial tribute resonates with the Hellfire Gala themes recently worn by Magik and Psylocke.

The arrival of these skins coincides with the commencement of the Galacta's Gift event, a celebration marking the anniversary of the game's first Closed Alpha in May 2024. This festive period offers players the chance to earn a trove of rewards simply by engaging in the battles they love. The bounty includes exclusive nameplates and the coveted Costume Coin, a key that unlocks any of the original 33 skins that debuted with the title in December 2024.

Adding to the wave of nostalgia and opportunity, NetEase Games is re-releasing the Season 0 battle pass for a limited window, from May 15 through May 29. This gesture allows newer champions to acquire relics from the game's inaugural season, though future returns of such passes may carry a premium of at least 20% over their original cost. This deluge of new content—from artist-crafted skins to celebratory events—paints a vibrant future for Marvel Rivals, filling its community with a palpable sense of optimism and anticipation for the battles yet to come.
