Marvel Rivals New Skin Customization Feature

Marvel Rivals players are already buzzing with excitement over the Season 2: Hellfire Gala update, and now NetEase has cranked things up even more by introducing a fresh skin customization feature. So, what is it all about, and how does it actually work? Let's find out!

What is Skin Customization in Marvel Rivals

Skin customization is a brand-new feature in Marvel Rivals, added on April 17, 2025. It lets players tweak the color combinations of their favorite costumes right from the Costumes tab. So, when you purchase a skin, you can now personalize it with different color options. The custom color will also affect the Intro Animation, MVP, and Emotes.

Currently, there are four available color palettes to choose from:

• Winter Soldier: Winter's Wrath
• Luna Snow: Plasma Pulse
• Magik: Rosy Resilience
• Psylocke: Phantom Purple

Currently, only four skins have the support of the skin customization option: Vengeance, Mirae 2099, Blood Soldier, and Punkchild.

For the initial release, only four skins will support color customization (might change):

Is the Skin Customization Feature Free?

Unfortunately, the new skin customization feature in Marvel Rivals comes at a price. Recoloring a costume will cost 600 Unstable Molecules, a new currency that has a 1:1 exchange rate with Lattice.

The upside? Developers have confirmed that players will be able to earn Unstable Molecules through gameplay in Season 3.
