Fan Favourites: The Swimsuit Stars
We’ve seen superhero skins before, but these beach-inspired looks bring pure summer energy. The Sunny Sizzler Human Torch skin is blazing-hot, with stylish flames toned down for scorching sun rays. The Thing’s Rocky Tide swimsuit gives Ben Grimm a surprising but oddly adorable surfside vibe — this isn’t his first romp in resort wear, and it probably won’t be his last. Rounding things off is Mantis, looking calmer-than-the-ocean in her refreshing Oceanic Harmony gear. She’s an underdog, and this event gives her the swag she deserves.
Should you buy the Premium Event Pass?
Honestly? If you’re all about the cosmetics and flexing those MVP moments, the 990 Lattice price tag isn’t too steep, especially when you consider the full packages on offer — complete with emotes, mood and emoji bundles, and some of the flashiest skins we’ve seen in this seasonal series.
If you’re playing casually or just want to enjoy the vibes without opening your wallet, there’s a solid chunk of free goodies waiting for you too. The Rocky Tide costume for The Thing is a great free highlight, especially paired with his Whale Waves MVP animation and Muscle Melody emote.
Whichever route you go, you’ve got until October 17, 2025 to claim it all.
What’s next for Marvel Rivals?
