Marvel Rivals’ Daredevil is Getting Loads of Skins in Season 4.5, However Not the Ones I Need

Few characters have piqued my curiosity by way of who I’d prefer to see added to the playable character roster in Marvel Rivals. Frankly, I’m astonished by how effectively NetEase has tailored what’s quickly to be 43 Marvel characters, who all have fascinating skills and distinct personalities, to a 6v6 hero shooter. I knew I wished to be a day-one Marvel Rivals Spider-Man main regardless of his equipment being tough to grasp as a result of I really like the character, for instance, however I wasn’t anticipating to wish to primary Squirrel Lady, a personality I used to be pretty unfamiliar with.

As an informal Marvel Rivals participant, it’s solely pure that my consideration span could ebb and stream with every new character that’s revealed, and I don’t suppose there’s been a post-launch character but to seize my curiosity as immensely as Daredevil has. Daredevil is a personality who all the time appeared like a no brainer for Marvel Rivals on account of his fashionable recognition and prolific pores and skin viability, however whom I’ve been cautious of seeing tailored on account of how difficult it will appear to take action. Satirically, after Daredevil’s gameplay and Season 4.5 roadmap reveals, I’m significantly extra vexed in regards to the skins chosen for Daredevil to date.

Marvel Rivals’ Daredevil Skins Make My Coronary heart Sink

Earlier, NetEase supplied a reasonably thorough breakdown of its Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 roadmap alongside relevant patch notes. Past a mix-and-match-themed Jade Scrolls of Okay’un-Lun occasion mini-Battle Go and a handful of miscellaneous skins peppering October and the start of November, there are fairly just a few Daredevil costumes that Marvel Rivals is introducing to rejoice the character’s arrival:

Marvel Rivals Retailer Content material (October 10)

Daredevil – Satan 2099 Bundle
Hulk – Maestro Bundle
Daredevil – Satan 2099 Emoji Bundle
Daredevil – Fearless Origin

I’m admittedly an enormous fan of the continuing Marvel Rivals 2099 theme, and I suppose it was solely a matter of time till Daredevil had his personal costume as a part of that motif. Nonetheless, I can’t assist however want that Fearless Origin was a traditional swimsuit pores and skin and never a recolor, whether or not that’s horribly nitpicky or not.

Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 Gold Rank Reward

Daredevil – Shenloong’s Creed

As a result of all Gold Rank pores and skin rewards have been recolors, it’s unattainable to nitpick about Shenloong’s Creed. Actually, I truly suppose Shenloong’s Creed is the best-looking pores and skin of the Season 4.5 batch. It’s unmistakably much like the yellow-and-red Fearless Origin pores and skin, however at the very least Shenloong’s Creed has a extra attention-grabbing colorway design variation, and the satisfaction of incomes Shenloong’s Creed for a Gold Rank will undeniably be better than merely buying Fearless Origin.

Marvel Rivals Disney+ Daredevil Pores and skin (October 10)

“Players can unlock a complimentary Disney+ inspired Daredevil costume, offered exclusively for a limited time from October 10, 2025, to January 8, 2026.”

This official Disney+ Daredevil recolor is what issues me most. At first look, it might be simple to imagine that this recolor would at the very least try and emulate the swimsuit that Charlie Cox’s Matthew Murdock wears as Daredevil within the Disney+ present Daredevil: Born Once more. Bewilderingly, although, it seems as if this “recolor” goes to be a Disney+ recolor, actually insinuating that it might be a blue recolor that’s meant to emulate the Disney+ theme/branding/emblem as an alternative.

To be honest, Marvel Rivals has no obligation to provide a bunch of genuine Daredevil skins, resembling any of the implausible costumes illustrated by Marco Checchetto in his and Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil comic book run, as quickly as doable. It took till Season 3 in July for Spider-Man to obtain a Symbiote pores and skin, as an example, and the absence of professional comedian e-book costumes for Daredevil will make my coronary heart develop fonder, I’m positive.
