Marvel Rivals Unveils Weapon X Wolverine Skin, Jeff the Land Shark Update, and New Combat Chest

Marvel Rivals is set to release a brand-new Weapon X skin for the Duelist-class hero Wolverine on June 5 at 7 PM PDT. This cosmetic is inspired by Wolverine’s time in the Weapon X program, as depicted in the comics. In the promotional image shared by NetEase Games, Wolverine is seen shirtless, outfitted with cybernetic gear on his head, chest, and arms, and wearing dark yellow pants. As of now, the price of the Weapon X skin has not been revealed.

This announcement comes shortly after the release of Marvel Rivals’ major Season 2.5 update, which introduced Ultron to the game as a new Strategist. While many players are enjoying the addition, some feel that Ultron is currently underpowered and in need of a balance adjustment.

Alongside the new hero, the update also introduced a Combat Chest — a smaller-scale alternative to a traditional battle pass. For 690 Lattice, players can unlock the full Combat Chest and earn skins for Magneto, Storm, and Mister Fantastic as they level up. Unlike typical battle passes, this one does not expire, allowing players to unlock rewards at their own pace. There are also free rewards available for all players, including the Future Foundation skin for Mister Fantastic.

Wolverine isn’t the only hero getting a makeover on June 5. Jeff the Land Shark will also be receiving a new costume called "Sunshine Land Shark." This outfit features Jeff with a brown-and-white color scheme and a floral lei around his neck, suggesting it's part of a broader summer-themed series. Other heroes like Squirrel Girl and Rocket Raccoon have also received "Sunshine" variants recently.

Jeff was reworked in the latest update, improving his versatility in combat. His Joyful Splash ability, which previously only healed allies, can now also damage enemies. This change enhances Jeff’s offensive capabilities and allows him to charge his ultimate ability more quickly, making him a more dynamic and valuable support character.

With frequent updates, exciting new skins, and fresh gameplay tweaks, Marvel Rivals continues to build momentum, leaving fans optimistic about what's to come.
