As Marvel Rivals gears up for the launch of Season 2 on April 11, all eyes are on one of its newest additions—Emma Frost. Alongside her gameplay debut, NetEase Games has revealed a brand-new X-Revolution skin, inspired by her appearance in Uncanny X-Men #1. While many fans are thrilled, others are divided over the revealing design.
Check out the official tweet from Marvel Rivals with a video showing off the new skin down below:
The X-Revolution bundle will be priced at 1600 in-game units and will include the skin, an emote, a nameplate, an MVP animation, and a spray. Players who only want the costume can purchase it separately for 1400 units. The bundle will be available in the game store once the season goes live.
Here is another look from the X page Marvel Rivals Intel showing off another look at the skin:
Despite being comic-accurate, the costume has sparked mixed reactions. Some fans have praised the developers for staying true to the source material, while others criticize it for being too revealing. A user on X (formerly Twitter) chimed in to defend the choice:
“These outfits aren’t just made up. These are comic book characters, with established lore, that includes established fashion. They have a lot of skimpy outfits for the girls that they can and will bring to Rivals.”
Emma Frost has long been known for her bold style and confidence, both in the comics and across various media. For many, her wardrobe is part of her identity as the White Queen of the Hellfire Club and a pillar of Mutant culture. This skin pays homage to that legacy, rather than being a purely fan-service invention.
Still, the discussion underscores the balancing act that games like Marvel Rivals face when adapting iconic but sometimes controversial designs. Whether you're a fan of the skin or not, it’s clear that Emma Frost’s arrival and her wardrobe has struck a chord with the community.
Season 2 of Marvel Rivals will also introduce new heroes, updated cosmetics, and in-game events centered around the Hellfire Gala storyline. Emma Frost is front and center in this celebration, both for her gameplay mechanics and her eye-catching visuals.
What do you think about Emma Frost’s X-Revolution skin? Does it capture her essence, or should NetEase consider more modest redesigns moving forward? Drop your thoughts in the comments and be ready for her arrival on April 11th!
