Marvel Rivals Reveals First Look at Wolverine’s Weapon X Skin Ahead of June 5 Release

Marvel Rivals has officially revealed gameplay footage of Wolverine’s upcoming Weapon X skin, giving fans a closer look at the iconic mutant’s gritty new design. The skin will be available in the in-game store starting June 5 at 7 PM PDT as part of the latest wave of content from NetEase Games.

The reveal follows the launch of Season 2.5, which recently added the villain Ultron to the roster, further expanding the hero shooter’s lineup of Marvel characters.

🧪 Weapon X Wolverine: Design, Price & Bundle Details

In the new footage, Wolverine is seen wearing a head-mounted device, his signature long black hair flowing beneath it. His look is completed with dark yellow pants and metallic components scattered across his body. Most striking of all, his adamantium claws glow red-hot, leaving fiery trails after each slash — a perfect nod to the Weapon X experimentation.

According to content creator Miller Ross, the Weapon X Bundle will cost 1,600 Units and includes:

• Weapon X Skin
• Nameplate
• Spray
• MVP Animation
• Emote

🗡 Wolverine’s Playstyle in Marvel Rivals

Wolverine is one of the game’s fearsome Duelist characters. Specializing in close-quarters combat, he's particularly effective against bulky Vanguard enemies. His abilities include:

• Vicious Rampage – a forward dash that slashes enemies in his path.
• Feral Leap – a leaping strike that helps isolate enemies for one-on-one fights.

However, Wolverine’s melee-focused kit makes him vulnerable to long-range and airborne opponents, making positioning and timing key to his success.

🌞 More Skins Coming: Sunshine Jeff the Land Shark

Also arriving on June 5 is a new skin for Jeff the Land Shark, titled Sunshine Land Shark. This laid-back outfit puts the Strategist in beachwear, complete with purple flower leis. It appears to be part of a broader “Sunshine” skin line, following similar outfits for Squirrel Girl and Rocket Raccoon.

🧠 New Game Mode: Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol

In addition to the cosmetic drops, the upcoming update will introduce a brand-new game mode called Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol. This mode shifts gameplay toward tactical combat, allowing players to form a full squad of heroes and engage in strategic, grid-based battles.

Players will need to carefully plan positioning, use modules, and apply strategic thinking to outwit opponents — a significant departure from the game’s standard fast-paced matches. The innovation has sparked excitement in the community, as it offers a fresh and thoughtful way to engage with Marvel Rivals.

🚀 Marvel Rivals Keeps Gaining Momentum

With new skins, modes, and heroes like Ultron joining the fray, Marvel Rivals continues to build momentum as one of the most promising entries in the hero shooter space. The addition of deeply customized content like the Weapon X Wolverine bundle shows that NetEase Games is fully committed to evolving the player experience.

Fans won’t have to wait long — all this content drops on June 5, so get ready to dive in!
