On March 27th, Marvel Entertainment released the first trailer for their upcoming project, “MARVEL RIVALS”, an online PvP game similar to the popular team-based FPS game called Overwatch. One thing that fans noticed immediately was that Spider-Man was set to be included as a playable character amongst his fellow Marvel heroes, and fans everywhere made their excitement known as they were eager to play as the beloved wall crawler. However, despite the initial reaction of the public, people took to social media to voice their concerns and distaste with the new design associated with this version of the character.
One twitter user voiced their complaints, commenting on the absence of the back logo on the suit as well as their overall opinion:
Possibly due to the large outcry among the Spider-Man fanbase over not liking this design, the team at “MARVEL RIVALS” has just revealed a redesign for Spider-Man in their latest trailer to promote their closed beta, which will be active from July 23rd to August 5th. Fans have pointed out the many changes that have been made to the suit, and have expressed their satisfaction with the updates!

On reddit, user u/Ok-Profile2178 made a post in the r/MarvelRivals subreddit to discuss the changes, with all of the comments being generally positive and praising the improvements made to the suit.
Personally, I was also somebody who also heavily criticized the suit when it was first revealed, but seeing the team truly bring the essence of Spider-Man into this new redesign while still keeping it fresh is something that any fan of the character can appreciate. With the updated boots & gloves, the more pronounced spider logo, and the bright red back logo being added, this new redesign screams what Spider-Man should look like.
“MARVEL RIVALS” currently does not have a release date for the immediate public, but it’s estimated to make it’s official debut in Q1 or Q2 of 2025, and when the time comes, I’m sure all of us will be ready to play as the web-head!
