Marvel Rivals has revealed that it will be releasing new skins for both Rocket Raccoon and Squirrel Girl on May 8 at 7 PM PDT. NetEase Games recently released Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, which introduced the mutant Emma Frost as a Vanguard. It's expected that Ultron will be added to the popular hero shooter's roster with a major mid-season update.
In addition to adding Emma Frost to the game, a recent Gallery Card teased the appearance of Jubilee in Marvel Rivals. The Gallery Card mentioned Jubilee by name in a conversation between Emma Frost and Betty Brant, with Frost mentioning that the classic X-Men hero is lost in the Timestream Entanglement. Many fans believe this could mean that Jubilee could show up as soon as next season, but others seem skeptical. Blade was heavily teased during Season 1: Eternal Night Falls and was even a focal point of the season's story. However, Blade hasn't been added to the hero shooter's ever-expanding roster yet. While many fans believe he'll likely make his debut soon, others feel that it's hard to tell which heroes could arrive in Season 3.

In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games revealed new skins for Marvel Rivals' Rocket Raccoon and Squirrel Girl, which are scheduled to come to the shop on May 8 at 7 PM PDT. The two skins are called Sunshine Raccoon and Sunshine Squirrel, likely because they both appear to have summer-themed outfits. Rocket Raccoon's jetpack appears to have been replaced by a summer variant with water tanks, and his gun even appears to be a water gun. Meanwhile, Squirrel Girl can be seen wearing a green visor, a crop top, and shorts.
