Los Angeles, California – Marvel Rivals has rolled out new recolor skins, offering players the chance to customize their existing skins with new color palettes for a fresh look. These new color patterns can be obtained by owning the base skin and purchasing the new color pattern for 600 Unstable Molecules, a unique in-game currency. In Season 2, players have the option to purchase these recolor skins with Lattice, the premium currency, at a 1:1 ratio. NetEase has hinted at introducing alternative ways to acquire this currency once Season 3 kicks off.
Players looking to unlock these new recolor skins will need to shell out an additional $6 for each color pattern, on top of the initial cost of purchasing the skin itself, which typically ranges between $15-20. The initial lineup includes four new recolor skins for popular characters Luna Snow, Psylocke, Magik, and Winter Soldier. Once purchased, players can access these new colors in the hero customization menu, allowing them to switch between the old and new color palettes. These color changes extend beyond just the appearance of the character, affecting MVP animations, intro animations, emotes, and their overall appearance in matches.
While the current offering includes only four recolor skins, NetEase has expressed intentions to expand the collection in the future based on demand. If the initial batch proves successful with players, it is highly likely that NetEase will release new recolor skins more frequently. Although the frequency of these releases is yet to be determined, Marvel Rivals typically introduces two new skins to the shop every Friday. This suggests a potential regular release schedule for new recolor skins, even if it may not match the weekly frequency of other in-game updates. This continuous addition of new content keeps players engaged and excited about the evolving customization options available in Marvel Rivals.
