Marvel Rivals has finally unveiled exciting details regarding its inaugural season, generating considerable buzz among players, particularly about the new character skins. While the update includes several buffs and nerfs, it is the character skins that have captured the attention of the gaming community.

The anticipation revved up after a Dev Vision video provided an in-depth look at the upcoming Season 1 update, highlighting the new battle pass alongside a sneak peek of three out of the ten new skins set to drop.

Players Excited About Wolverine’s New Vampiric Skin

The spotlight has fallen on Loki, Wolverine, and Scarlet Witch, all of whom will sport vampiric or vampire hunter-inspired attire in this update. Enthusiasm has peaked particularly for Wolverine’s fresh look, warranting a flurry of discussion across social media platforms. One fan expressed their excitement succinctly: “UGH I’m so excited, and this is only three of the skins.”

What sets Wolverine’s skin apart is its striking resemblance to characters from popular media, drawing comparisons to figures such as Van Helsing and characters from the Dark Souls series. His design is gaining serious fan approval, with many already anticipating donning the skin as soon as it becomes available.

“Vampire Hunter Wolverine? Omg!” exclaimed one enthusiastic player, while others humorously noted parallels to Father Gascoigne, a notorious boss from the game Bloodborne. One user chimed, “Ooh I’m bout to feed so hard on Bloodborne Wolverine.”

The design’s novelty has spurred playful commentary among fans, with remarks like, “Tanks left sh**ting their pants as a vampire alcoholic lunges at them for the 12th time a game,” capturing the humor emerging from the new skin.

Interestingly, parallels have also been drawn between Wolverine’s new look and Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of a vampire hunter in the film Van Helsing. One player remarked, “Van Helsing Wolverine, nice,” while another added, “Van Helsing is peak, brother,” emphasizing the nostalgic connection to Jackman’s work.

Wolverine is most notably known for Hugh Jackman’s iconic portrayal, making this skin design a delightful homage to the actor’s extensive filmography. Speculation is rife among fans—could we expect themed skins in the future, like a circus-style Wolverine reminiscent of The Greatest Showman or a French Revolution outfit akin to Les Miserables?

As the community eagerly awaits the unveiling of seven more character skins, it’s evident that Wolverine’s Van Helsing-inspired look stands out strongly. With various buffs incoming during the season, players are likely to encounter this exciting new skin frequently in their matches.
