Marvel Rivals will introduce two new character skins in the highly anticipated first season update — Eternal Night Falls, which will be released on January 10, 2025.

Players will have the opportunity to don the dark and villainous looks of two iconic members of the Fantastic Four — Reed Richards as The Maker and Sue Storm in her Malice costume. Both skins will be available right at the start of the season, offering fans a new perspective on classic heroes.

This update will mark a significant event for Marvel Rivals, which quickly gained popularity after its release in December 2024. The presence of Fantastic Four characters is likely to draw even more attention to this free-to-play shooter game, as players will have the chance to explore the darker interpretations of the iconic Marvel family.

Mr. Fantastic Skin: The Maker

Reed Richards, better known as Mr. Fantastic, will appear in his most controversial form — The Maker — at the start of the first season. In the Marvel Ultimate Universe, The Maker is an alternate version of Reed who transforms into a cold and calculating villain. This skin will allow players to experience the dark side of the genius scientist. A gameplay video showcasing the new skin in action has already surfaced online.

The Maker skin will be available in the in-game store on January 10 at 1:00 AM Pacific Time (4:00 AM Eastern Time). Players can purchase it with the game's premium currency, although the exact price is still unknown.

How to Get the Maker Skin:

1. Launch Marvel Rivals after installing the update.
2. Go to the cosmetic items section in the in-game store.
3. Open the Mr. Fantastic tab and find The Maker skin there.
4. Purchase the skin with the premium currency as soon as it becomes available.

Sue Storm Skin: Malice

Joining Reed in this update is Sue Storm, who will debut in Marvel Rivals on the same day — January 10. Along with her character's launch, players can purchase the Malice skin, which showcases a darker, more sinister version of the Invisible Woman from the well-known Fantastic Four storyline. A gameplay video featuring the Malice skin has also appeared, though it is not of the best quality.

The Malice skin will be released simultaneously with The Maker skin and will be available in the store from 1:00 AM Pacific Time (4:00 AM Eastern Time). Like The Maker, it can be purchased with the game's premium currency.

How to Get the Malice Skin:

1. Launch Marvel Rivals after installing the update.
2. Go to the cosmetic items section in the in-game store.
3. Find the Invisible Woman tab and select the Malice skin.
4. Purchase the skin with the premium currency.

First Season Update: Eternal Night Falls

The launch of The Maker and Malice skins coincides with the start of the first season of Marvel Rivals, titled Eternal Night Falls, which will bring new content and heroes for players. The update promises to be extensive.

Following its release in December 2024, Marvel Rivals rapidly gained popularity thanks to its dynamic gameplay and regular updates. Adding beloved characters like the Fantastic Four and their darker versions will undoubtedly help maintain this trend.

With The Maker and Malice skins debuting on the day of the first season's launch, Marvel Rivals offers Fantastic Four fans a unique opportunity to see their favorite characters in a whole new light.
