How to get the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals
Image via NetEase Games. The Season 2.5 update alone has featured a lot of hero skins in Marvel Rivals. Be it the premium skins like Ultron X-Tron, Groot Yggroot, Scarlet Witch Immortal Sovereign, or the free skins like Golden Ultron, Mister Fantastic Future Foundation, the recent mid-season refresh has it all. However, this is not the end as Marvel Rivals has recently launched a skin for our favorite MCU superhero, Moon Knight, as well. Along with it, a skin for Iron Fist has also been released as well. Everything you need to know about the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals The Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin has been launched in Marvel Rivals on June 20, 2025 at 2:00 AM UTC. Moon Knight along with Iron Fist marks the fourth set of shop skin after Sunshine Land Shark Jeff the Land Shark, Future Foundation Thing, and many more. Unlike his typical appearance in MCU, the Phoenix Knight skin is quite different. Similar to the Phoenix bird, the whole outfit is themed in flame red and gold. However, this version of Moon Knight might look familiar to the OG Marvel comics fans. In 2018 Avengers #36, in an attempt to obtain all the powers in the universe by the order of Khonsu, Moon Knight acquired Mjolnir and the strength of Iron First to become the Phoenix Force. And the recently released skin reminds us of that version of Moon Knight. Now, how to get this skin? Unlike all the available free skins in Marvel Rivals , you don't need to complete any quests or watch any Twitch streams to redeem this skin. As it's a paid skin, you can directly purchase it from the Store tab in the Main Menu of the game. There you will find the Featured Tab where you should definitely find it and can buy it for 1,400 units. However, if you buy the whole Phoenix Night bundle then you will get the skin as well as an MVP Animation, Emote, Nameplate, and Spray, that too for just 200 Units more.

NetEase game Blood Message may have the best video game graphics ever
After Black Myth: Wukong put China on the map in terms of single-player action games, new title Blood Message seems to be going a step further. Up until the last couple of years, the Chinese video games industry has had virtually no visible influence on the Western market. Giant publishers like Tencent and NetEase do own numerous Western developers, and shares in publishers, but no one would play a game like Marvel Rivals and assume it came from China. But all that has changed recently, with last year's Black Myth: Wukong (and Stellar Blade from Korean studio Shift Up) cementing a new era of Asian video games that are not from Japan. You would think that the lack of experience, with console style single-player games, would require a long period of learning and experimentation, but in terms of graphics that has not been the case at all. To the point where new game Blood Message is already looking better than almost any other game in development. All we've got to go on is the trailer below, but the game is published by NetEase and developed by 24 Entertainment in Hangzhou, China. It's described as a 'cinematic, single-player, linear story-driven action adventure' for consoles and PC. A lot of the first wave of Chinese single-player games have been heavily influenced by FromSoftware and the Soulslikes genre, including the upcoming Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, but Blood Message seems to be closer to Sony titles such as God Of War and The Last Of Us.

There's little further information about the gameplay, except that it blends 'visceral, realistic combat' with 'stealth and survival mechanics.' More Trending The story is based around the final years of the Tang Dynasty, in the 9th century, and casts you as an unnamed messenger trying to travel East, with his young son, during Dunhuang's Uprising. We're unclear how much of it is based on historical reality but there doesn't seem to be any magic or fantasy elements. Unreal Engine 5 is being used for the visuals and if the trailer is an accurate representation of what the game is going to look like in action, then we should all be in for a treat. There's no word on a release date or year, which is usually an indication that the game is a long way off, but hopefully we'll find out about that soon. 'As our first completely single-player focused experience from NetEase Games, after two decades of deep dedication to the gaming industry, we are prepared to deliver a truly epic and cinematic experience for players around the world,' said Zhipeng Hu, Lead Producer and NetEase Executive Vice President.

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.

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.
