Summary
- A leaker recently shared gameplay footage showing a new skin for Magik in Marvel Rivals.
- It's unclear when the skin will be officially added to the game.
- Season 1 of the popular hero shooter will begin in January 2025.
A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker recently shared gameplay footage of a new skin for Magik, showing the hero may get a fresh look in the near future. According to several people who have been sifting through the game's files, fans may see new skins and possibly an event associated with the upcoming Lunar New Year. Many Marvel Rivals players have been excitedly soaking up the information, as they're eager to see more options for their favorite heroes.
Magik is a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, meaning her main objective is to deal damage and take out as many enemies as possible. Her ability kit features unique mobility options, allowing her to create portals that transport her short distances. She's also one of the few heroes in the game to have a transformation, giving her a second form for a short duration of time when all of her powers are amplified. Unfortunately, a recent Marvel Rivals video showed that Magik may be nerfed unintentionally when the game is running at 30 frames per second. The clip showed that her offensive dash falls short of its intended distance, making it more difficult for her to land the attack.
Marvel Rivals Fans Are Loving the New Venom Skin
Marvel Rivals players have a lot of praise for the hero shooter's latest Venom skin, which is only available in the game's shop for a limited time.
The prominent Marvel Rivals leaker RivalsInfo recently posted gameplay footage on Twitter showing off a new skin for Magik. In the video, Magik has long white hair split into two massive pigtails and bangs that cover her eyes. She's wearing a deep purple outfit with a short skirt and matching sword. In her transformation, her hair turns to a deep amethyst color with a gradient transition to white. From what can be seen, all of her portals and abilities have maintained their classic look, though this could certainly change before the skin is released. RivalsInfo also leaked gameplay footage of a new skin for Bruce Banner in Marvel Rivals called Wasteland Hulk.
Marvel Rivals Leaker Shares Gameplay Footage of a New Magik Skin
RivalsInfo recently shared footage of three new skins for Scarlet Witch in Marvel Rivals, showing off gameplay of the fresh cosmetics. One of the designs was clearly unfinished, but may point toward a classic look for the hero. Some fans have been clamoring for skins that show off first-appearance outfits from when iconic heroes made their debut.
Leakers have been very busy digging into the game's files, even managing to reveal characters they claim could make an appearance in Season 1. They recently revealed the full ability kit for Human Torch in Marvel Rivals, claiming he would be a Duelist just like Magik. However, he would be more focused on controlling zones, creating walls of flame to block off areas and contain enemies. As with all leaks, things could always change or never come to fruition, but that hasn't stopped many fans from getting hyped about potentially exciting new content.
