Image via: MarvelRivals/X The Fire rises even more in Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals with the introduction of two gorgeous new skins: Binary Fist Iron Fist and Phoenix Knight Moon Knight. These cosmetics, however, unlike mere appearances, are actually status symbols. Here's everything you need to know in obtaining these new skins and the implication of their release to the community. Release Date & Global Launch Times The Binary Fist and Phoenix Knight skins release on June 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM PDT, available worldwide through the in-game store. No matter where you are located, release will just make it soon after on June 20th: US Eastern Time: 10:00 PM (June 19) UK (BST): 3:00 AM (June 20) Japan/Korea (JST/KST): 11:00 AM (June 20) These come as the fourth wave of Season 2.5 skins behind other sets such as Wolverine's Weapon X and Groot's Yggroot designs. Where to Locate and Buy the Skins Unlocking the new skins is simple, requiring no limited-time events or challenges: Command your forces and save the multiverse from devastation, open Marvel Rivals as soon as the update drops! Access the Store by going to the top center of the home screen. Click on 'Costumes' to filter and view all available skins. Find either Binary Fist (Iron Fist) or Phoenix Knight (Moon Knight). Buy with Units, the game's premium currency. If you don't see the skins right away, try using the hero-specific filter to find them faster. Pricing & Bundles – What to Expect While we don't yet know what official prices will be, we know that other Epic-tier skins in Marvel Rivals have gone for 1,600 to 1,800 Units. Second, players can purchase Units directly with real money, making this the more controversial monetization scheme. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Through Battle Pass progression By trading Lattice, the grindable currency, at a 1:1 ratio Look forward to bundles that could be themed to include special themed victory poses or nameplates to compliment the aesthetic. Though skins don't affect gameplay mechanics, their release usually prompts a domino effect in hero popularity. Iron Fist already controls Diamond+ ranks with a 51.72% win rate, and his new futuristic armor would only serve to further pull focus. Moon Knight could use a little shot in the arm. Currently languishing with a paltry 44.60% win rate, the Phoenix Knight skin will at least drive up his pick rate, as players return to their underdog hero to check out his all new fiery hot design. ALL NEW SKINS IN MARVEL RIVALS ARE CRAZY! Why Do These Skins Matter? Beyond just eye-candy aesthetics, these drops serve as a testament to the celebration of uniquely and creatively character reimagining. Both skins are perfect examples of how Marvel Rivals converges the comic book legacy while infusing their own unique style. They're more than just skins—they're a love letter to fans of design, lore, and competitive play. Whether you're already a heavy-hitting Gold-ranked Iron Fist main, or a Moon Knight loyalist just waiting for an excuse to dust him off, those Binary Fist and Phoenix Knight skins are too sweet to miss. With tight designs, anticipated bang-for-your-buck via Units, and zero lock-in barriers, there's hardly an excuse not to jump in headfirst. Save the date for June 19, and prepare to mobilize in style.

What is the Combat Chest in Marvel Rivals and how to get it?
Image via NetEase Games. There's been a flurry of new content in Marvel Rivals right now. First, It was the Chrono Shield Cards. Now, NetEase Games has unveiled yet another brand new aspect in the game, which is the Combat Chest. This new in-game component is going to be similar to the Battle Pass. With Season 2.5 planned to be released on May 30, 2025, a lot of things are lined-up to be revealed via this mid-season refresh update. The main highlight of this update has to be the arrival of Ultron in the game as a playable character. This upcoming character is also getting a new outfit as well, along with Groot. Besides, a lot of characters are getting their respective buffs and nerfs. Combat Chest in Marvel - What is it and how to get it? The Combat Chest is a new reward system in Marvel Rivals which works almost exactly like the Battle Pass in the game. However, there is a significant difference. Unlike the standard Battle Pass which progresses by spending Chrono Tokens, the Combat Chest progresses by playing matches. Another interesting quality of this new rewards system is that it doesn't expire at all and players can continue digging rewards from it without any time restraints. Now the question is, how to get it? If you don't want to spend your money on the game besides the Battle Pass, then you can sit relaxed as the Combat Chest will still reward you, without spending a single penny. However, that's the free version of the Combat Chest, and the rewards will also be low-tiered, like the Emma Frost Make It Rain Emote. But if you purchase the Premium version of the Combat Chest by spending 690 Lattice, which costs around $7, then you can treat yourself with some Advanced rewards like the Storm Kingdom Savior MVP. Players need to keep in mind that the Combat Chest will be available until July 11, 2025. But if players activate the Combat Chest before that, then it will stay forever in their accounts and there will be no time limit to claim rewards through it. Players can progress through the Combat Chest even after it gets unavailable, but it needs to be purchased and activated before that. The Combat Chest in Marvel Rivals is going to be released on May 30, 2025 at 9 AM UTC on all platforms, along with the release of the Season 2.5 .

How to get the new X-Tron and Yggroot skins in Marvel Rivals Season 2.5
Image via NetEase Games. Those who have been waiting for new skins of Ultron and Groot in Marvel Rivals, have good news as the wait is finally over. NetEase Games has recently announced brand new skins for these two popular characters of the game in its Season 2.5. The mid-season refresh will bring Ultron in the game as a playable character. Along with it, the Season 2.5 patch will introduce new team-up abilities and pose nerfs and buffs to several characters. However, the announcement of the new skins of those two heroes is surely going to be a treat for the fans. Marvel Rivals announces new X-Tron and Yggroot skins for Ultron and Groot in Marvel Rivals Just like everyone anticipated, NetEase Games has recently announced that that two new skins for Ultron and Groot are coming into the game respectively. These two skins will be available from May 30 at 7 PM PT. The upcoming skin of Ultron is named X-Tron, which give him a more fearsome look. This skin is more metallic than his usual appearance with a red cape, along with an Arc-reactor kind of object on his chest, with reddish-black arms and a red face,, which kind of reminds us of Ironman. This skin is also reminiscent of his multiverse-destoryer look from What If? Season 1 Episode 8. On the other hand, Groot gets a more grim and serious look in his upcoming Yggroot skin, which is kind of unusual as compared to his previous avatars. Groot's new skin will wield a silver-grayish texture along with crystal blue patches all over his body. Except for the looks of the new skins, NetEase Games hasn't revealed further details, like pricing and all. However, both the skins are expected to arrive as respective bundles, each shaving individual Emote, Nameplate, and Spray. In order to acquire these skins, players need to head to the Store tab when on or after May 30. In this tab, players will need to tap on the Featured section, where these two new skins will be showcased for purchasing.
