Currently, MVP animations are exclusive to whichever cosmetic bundle they are sold with.

In Dev Vision Vol. 7, Creative Director Guangyun Chen stated that players will soon be able to mix and match their skins and MVP animations, which should give players even more customization options than usual. Many players were pleasantly surprised by the announcement, as this is a feature fans have been asking for since the hero shooter’s release in December 2024. Some people were quick to point out that this has the potential to make some skins that don’t have their own MVP animations more appealing, as gamers who wish to use them won’t be stuck using the default animation. This has been a consistent sore spot for many players, as some skins, like theFuture Foundation skin for Human Torch inMarvel Rivals, lack a unique MVP animation.
It has also been revealed that Season 3 will includenumerous fresh skins inMarvel Rivals, including symbiote-themed costumes for Jeff the Land Shark, Rocket Raccoon, and Squirrel Girl. Fans looking to get their hands on some new symbiote cosmetics won’t have to wait until July 11, as Captain America will also be receiving a new skin called Captain Klyntar on July 3 at 7 PM PDT. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future ofMarvel Rivals.
