Marvel Rivals is getting a new Spider-Man suit inspired by the Advanced Suit 2.0 from Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

The official PlayStation Twitter account revealed the Marvel Rivals version of the Advanced Suit 2.0, and I have to say, it translates beautifully to the online hero shooter's more cartoony art style. I might swing away with a negative K/D ratio because I suck at Spider-Man, but at least I'll look damn good doing it.

Marvel Rivals is adding the Advanced Suit 2.0 to Spider-Man's selection of skins on January 30 - the same day that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 releases on PC after a year-and-change of PS5 exclusivity.

Marvel Rivals launched last month and hit 10 million players in its first three days, and as it stands it's more popular than ever. Point being, you can expect more than just new skins in the hero shooter's future, with its game director having just recently said it'll get new heroes every six weeks.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2, however, not so much. Insomniac confirmed back in October that there's "no additional story content planned" for the acclaimed sequel. Hopefully the PC port bucks the years-long trend of PC ports of PlayStation games being just technically lesser versions of otherwise great games. After all, the PS5 version topped our list of the best Spider-Man games of all time, so it deserves a second life on PC.

In the meantime, here are 10 comics we'd recommend reading if you're playing Marvel Rivals and want to know more about the heroes you're playing.
