Marvel Rivals Unveils New Doctor Strange Zombie Skin and Peach Momoko's Peni Parker Outfit
2025-04-17 00:22:22NetEase Games has unveiled two stunning new cosmetic additions coming to Marvel Rivals that are generating significant buzz among players. The hero shooter will soon feature a terrifying zombie version of Doctor Strange inspired by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, along with a fresh take on Peni Parker designed by renowned artist Peach Momoko.
The Doctor Strange cosmetic bundle transforms the Sorcerer Supreme into his decaying zombie variant from the MCU film, complete with tattered robes, eerie floating hands, and a hauntingly ethereal cape. This premium package includes not just the skin, but also a matching nameplate, spray, emote, and special MVP screen animation.
These new skins arrive during Marvel Rivals' thriving Season 2, which recently introduced Emma Frost as a playable Vanguard character. NetEase has implemented numerous balance changes that have significantly impacted the meta, with Rocket Raccoon surprisingly emerging as one of the strongest characters despite initial concerns about his nerfs.
The developer's adjustments to Rocket's ultimate ability - reducing its damage boost from 40% to 25% while adding substantial healing effects - has created an interesting shift in team dynamics. This change exemplifies NetEase's commitment to evolving gameplay while maintaining character uniqueness.
Players can look forward to earning several free cosmetics during Season 2. Completing just nine matches grants the Chaos Gown costume for Scarlet Witch, while dedicated players can unlock Hellfire Gala outfits for Magik and Iron Fist through battle pass progression - no premium purchase required.
With the mid-season update bringing Ultron to the roster and these exciting new skins on the horizon, Marvel Rivals continues to demonstrate why it's becoming a standout title in the competitive hero shooter genre.
