Captain America Steps Into The Gladiator Arena With Latest Character Skin For Marvel Rivals

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that the anticipation for Marvel Rivals has reached new heights. The reveal of Captain America‘s cosmetic skin based on his appearance in Planet Hulk (2015) #1 is nothing short of epic! It’s not every day we get to see our favorite heroes adorned in such unique attire, especially one as iconic as Captain America.


17th day of the worldwide highlight showcased Bucky Barnes, also known as The Winter Soldier, and it’s not by chance that the following day brought Steve Rogers, his friend, adversary, and confidant, Captain America, into focus. Remarkably, they were both unveiled as playable characters in August 2024, aligning perfectly with the game’s launch date of December 6th, 2024, for console and PC platforms.

18 days into the worldwide countdown, developer NetEase Games unveiled the newest Rivals Assemble video showcasing Captain America, along with an announcement scheduled for November 20th, 2024. This announcement will present a brand-new cosmetic skin for Cap as he takes on one of his most formidable challenges and competes against rivals from all Marvel platforms.

16 days from now, I’ll be gearing up alongside the star-spangled hero, ready to fight for justice as Captain America! With the strength of the Super-Soldier Serum and unrivaled combat abilities, Cap is all set to take charge. Mark your calendars – we’re hitting the battlefield together in Marvel Rivals on December 6th! Add it to your wishlist now!

Today, Captain America, also known as Steve Rogers, takes center stage in our global countdown, accompanied by a Rivals Assemble video and a cosmetic skin unveiling. Throughout comics, video games, and projects within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), we had hoped that the design of the skin would draw inspiration from his appearances in the MCU.

Instead, fans were given an even more extraordinary spectacle since Captain America was depicted as a seasoned gladiator from battle, and his new cosmetic skin is inspired by his look in one of The Hulk’s most well-liked comic book series. Essentially, the Captain Gladiator skin for Captain America is based on Cap’s appearance in Planet Hulk (2015) #1, where he was accompanied by Devil Dinosaur during his journey as well.

In earlier related communications, we haven’t specified exactly how you can get the “battle-scared” cosmetic skin for Cap yet, but there are potential ways such as purchasing it from the in-game store, earning it through the seasonal Battle Pass, or receiving it as a reward upon completing Galacta’s Quest missions. Rest assured, we’ll announce officially when we get closer to Marvel Rivals’ global launch in December 2024.
