Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with their Swimsuit Special comic book, set to hit the shelves on July 9. Titled "Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1," this issue promises a refreshing break for Earth's Mightiest Heroes as they indulge in a much-needed vacation.

The special comic will feature Roxxon Comics' unauthorized swimsuit edition, prompting Wasp to organize an official Marvel heroes' swimwear fashion shoot across the globe. The comic promises a blend of stunning art and engaging storytelling, ensuring fans have plenty to enjoy while they eagerly await the potential release of these summer-themed cosmetics.

Although Marvel hasn't provided specific details on the launch date or the characters featured in the swimsuit collection, the context suggests that summer-themed skins could be on the horizon. As we approach the release date, more information about how this ties into Marvel Rivals is expected, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Since its launch in December, Marvel Rivals has captivated players with its competitive gameplay and diverse roster of characters. While many players focus on climbing the ranks, others are eagerly anticipating NetEase's post-launch plans, particularly the potential introduction of a Marvel Rivals swimsuit collection.

Looking at the game's seasonal updates, Marvel Rivals Season 2 recently introduced Emma Frost and the Hellfire Gala. With Season 2 set to conclude in about three months, it's speculated that the new swimsuit outfits could debut with Season 3, likely around July or August. This timing aligns with NetEase's planned schedule and allows players to enjoy the summer-themed skins before the season ends.

Additionally, Season 3 will mark a shift in NetEase's post-launch strategy, with seasons now lasting only about two months. This change means players can expect at least one new hero to be added each month.
