NetEase Games has officially announced that on April 17, 2025, two unexpected new skins for Doctor Strange and Peni Parker will be available in the Marvel Rivals game store. They will be part of a special crossover event titled 'Clash of Myth and Madness'.

What We Know About the New Skins for Doctor Strange and Peni Parker

Doctor Strange – Multiverse of Madness Skin

Inspired by the grim, zombie-like appearance of Doctor Strange from the film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), this new skin transforms the Sorcerer Supreme into a fearsome warrior. Torn clothing, decayed hands, and a ghastly wound on the face all contribute to a truly terrifying battlefield look.

Peni Parker – Yatsukahagi Skin

The new Peni Parker skin draws inspiration from Japanese folklore, specifically the spider spirit Tsuchigumo. Peni's mech is now adorned with an orange oni mask, sharp claws, and traditional design elements. Peni herself wears a fur hat and traditional Japanese attire, adding authenticity and style to her look.

Prices and Bundle Contents

Although official prices for the new skins have not been specified, it can be assumed that the approximate cost will be similar to previous premium skins that have appeared in Marvel Rivals:
