Marvel Rivals is turning up the heat with the announcement of brand-new Sunshine-themed skins for Rocket Raccoon and Squirrel Girl, set to arrive in the in-game shop on May 8 at 7 PM PDT. These colorful summer-inspired cosmetics add a playful twist to the ever-expanding world of NetEase Games’ team-based hero shooter.
In a recent post on Twitter (X), Marvel Rivals unveiled the Sunshine Raccoon and Sunshine Squirrel skins. Rocket’s rugged battle gear has been swapped for a more relaxed, vacation-ready design—his jetpack now features water tanks, and his weapon has morphed into what appears to be a giant water gun. Meanwhile, Squirrel Girl looks ready for summer fun, sporting a green visor, crop top, and shorts.
These seasonal cosmetics are launching alongside the ongoing Season 2, which has already introduced Emma Frost as a playable Vanguard hero. Fans can expect more updates throughout the season, with Ultron rumored to be joining the roster in a mid-season update.
Adding fuel to the excitement, a recent Gallery Card in the game hinted at the possible debut of Jubilee, mentioning her by name in a dialogue between Emma Frost and Betty Brant. The card suggests Jubilee is “lost in the Timestream Entanglement,” sparking speculation that the beloved X-Men character could arrive in Season 3. Still, some fans remain cautious, pointing to how Blade, a major tease from Season 1, has yet to join the roster.
The arrival of the Sunshine skins shows Marvel Rivals’ commitment to offering vibrant, fan-pleasing content while continuing to build excitement for its upcoming character reveals. Whether you’re a fan of summer vibes or deep Marvel lore, May 8 is shaping up to be a must-play date.
