Summary

  • Marvel Rivals reveals gameplay of the new Sunshine Squirrel skin for Squirrel Girl.
  • NetEase Games is also releasing a Sunshine Raccoon outfit for Rocket Raccoon.
  • Both skins will be available for purchase on May 8 at 7 PM PDT.

Marvel Rivals has given players their first look at gameplay of the new Sunshine Squirrel skin for the popular Duelist Squirrel Girl in the hero shooter. NetEase Games recently released Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, which added Emma Frost to the game as its newest Vanguard. It's expected that the villain Ultron will make his debut as a Strategist in a large mid-season update.

It was recently revealed that Marvel Rivals is releasing a new patch for May 8, which will include two new skins and a highly requested feature. With the newest update, players will find that sprays and emotes have their own unique wheels in the game, allowing players to express themselves even more than before. In addition, gamers will be able to share their spray wheel across multiple heroes, meaning there's no reason for someone to add sprays to every character individually anymore. This is something a large portion of the community has been asking for since the game launched in December 2024.

Marvel Rivals Showcases ‘Sunshine Squirrel’ Skin for Squirrel Girl

Squirrel Girl isn't the only hero receiving a new skin, as Marvel Rivals' Rocket Raccoon will also be getting a costume called Sunshine Raccoon. The outfit shows the fluffy hero with a straw hat, rubber duckies on his belt, a jetpack with water tanks, and a water gun instead of his usual weapon. It's a unique summer costume for the hero, and many fans are expecting that more of these seasonal skins will make their way to the game in the near future.

While gamers will be able to acquire both Marvel Rivals skins for Rocket Raccoon and Squirrel Girl on May 8 at 7 PM PDT, there's no official word about how much either skin will cost. With new costumes just around the corner and even more content on the way soon, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of the popular hero shooter.
