Marvel Rivals Unveils New Yami no Karasu Skin for Hela and Controversial Currency Update
2025-04-24 18:48:36NetEase Games has recently showcased the gameplay of the highly anticipated Yami no Karasu skin for Duelist Hela in Marvel Rivals, sparking excitement among fans. The game is currently in Season 2: Hellfire Gala, introducing new characters like Vanguard Emma Frost and teasing future additions such as Ultron. However, the introduction of a new in-game currency, Unstable Molecules, has stirred mixed reactions within the community.
The Unstable Molecules currency allows players to customize existing skins, a feature long requested by fans. However, controversy arose when it was revealed that the only way to obtain this currency is by exchanging Lattice, the premium currency of Marvel Rivals. While NetEase Games has promised additional methods to earn Unstable Molecules in the future, details remain scarce, leaving some players frustrated.
In a recent Twitter post, NetEase Games provided a first look at the Yami no Karasu skin for Hela, set to release on April 24 at 7 PM PDT. Inspired by Kirisaki Mountain and designed by renowned artist Peach Momoko, the skin features Hela with pale green skin, an olive cape, and her iconic headdress. Alongside this, Strategist Loki will also receive a new skin, the Shin Sagi-Shi, designed by Momoko, though pricing details are yet to be officially confirmed.
The April 24 update will also introduce the Giant-Size Brain Blast game mode, a whimsical addition where characters sport oversized bobble-heads. This mode, launching on April 25, promises a lighthearted twist to the game's usual intense battles, featuring favorites like Iron Man, Venom, and Spider-Man.
