Marvel Rivals Unveils Gameplay Featuring Hulk’s New ‘Punk Rage’ Skin

Excitement is brewing among Marvel Rivals players as the game gears up to introduce some exciting new skins. Gamers can mark their calendars for February 27 at 6 PM PST, when the shop will showcase the new Punk Rage skin for Hulk. This follows the recently rolled out Season 1.5 update from NetEase Games, which not only added classic characters like the Human Torch and The Thing but also unveiled a fresh Central Park map for players to explore.

Hulk remains a formidable character in the game, boasting a skill set that empowers him to both shield his comrades and wreak havoc on his enemies. One of his standout abilities, Indestructible Guard, envelops him and nearby allies in a protective bubble, a boon for any Vanguard out there navigating the battlefield. His Incredible Leap allows him to cover ground with ease, asserting dominance wherever needed. In a transformative moment, Hulk can unleash his inner Monster Hulk, amplifying his size and strength. In this state, he wields the devastating World Breaker ability, enabling him to grab foes and slam them repeatedly into the ground.

In what’s generating buzz across social media, NetEase Games took to Twitter to tease the arrival of the Punk Rage skin. While official details are under wraps, leaks suggest this edgy version of Hulk, complete with green hair, goggles, and a splash of paint on his attire, will go for 1,600 Units. With tattoos adorning his arms and chest, the Monster Hulk transformation appears even more menacing, thanks to the spikes protruding from his head and back.

A parallel announcement also revealed that Magik would receive her own Punkchild skin on the same date. While official previews of Magik’s new look — including her Darkchild transformation — are still awaited, unofficial sources speculate a price tag of 2,200 Units, hinting at potential special animations and a unique nameplate.

Despite these exciting updates, some players have voiced frustration, particularly those who favor melee characters like Hulk and Magik. The game’s trio of flying heroes seems to have gained an edge since the 1.5 update, leaving some fans hoping for the introduction of Vanguards equipped with ranged attacks to balance the gameplay. For now, NetEase Games has yet to address these concerns directly.

Amid this mix of excitement and apprehension, the community remains hopeful about what the future holds. With new skins on the horizon and plenty of fresh content yet to come, there’s a palpable sense of optimism among Marvel Rivals fans eagerly waiting for February 27 to arrive.
