#Marvel Rivals’ costume recolors arrive quickly, bringing palette swaps to pick out skins—for a worth – Destructoid
Marvel Rivals’ newest addition to its in-game retailer is about to be accessible tomorrow, however additional particulars about what the “Costume Customization” characteristic will entail aren’t clear.
NetEase Video games confirmed that the lately introduced characteristic will likely be arriving as a part of an replace within the early morning hours of April 17. The replace will deliver “contemporary palettes” for sure costumes and heroes within the recreation. So, mainly, they’re recolors.
Pricing on the recolors weren’t introduced forward of time, however they are going to be purchasable presumably on a person stage as soon as they’re dwell within the retailer. For this week’s drop, there’s the Rosy Resilience colour for Magik’s Punkchild costume, Phantom Purple colour for Psylocke’s Vengeance costume, Plasma Pulse colour for Luna Snow’s Mirae 2099 costume, and Winter’s Wrath colour for Winter Soldier’s Revolution costume.
This appears like a missed alternative for Marvel Rivals, and one of many few missteps the sport has had since launch. The entire heroes have a palette swap for his or her default pores and skin, so it looks like it will simply be one other model of that for choose costumes within the recreation that NetEase deems “your favourite costumes.”
It might’ve been a bit cooler if the palette swaps labored like shaders for every costume within the recreation, permitting you to swap the colorway of a number of skins as an alternative of simply recolored skins. In the event that they perform as different recolors, these new ones will value round 600 Items. And that’s superb, because it’s completely non-compulsory, however I do want the sport did one thing a bit completely different this time round.
It’s but to be decided how costume recolors are chosen, however it seems that they could simply be added to the shop periodically and performance as new skins slightly than a special characteristic. We’ll see what’s new or completely different in regards to the costume colours after they go dwell early tomorrow morning.
