Marvel Rivals closes out its Summer Festival swimwear rollout with the Version 20260702 update, which wraps up the 2026 Swimsuit Special line by adding the last three heroes to the collection. The patch focuses on cosmetics rather than a full content drop, and it installs without taking the servers offline.
Quick answer: The July 2 update goes live at 09:00 UTC with no server downtime. It delivers the final Swimsuit Special wave, with Lady Loki – Seaside Siren and White Fox – Coastal Kumiho available through the Pop & Win ☆ Cross-Pool Promo, plus the Captain America – Seaside Sentinel Bundle in the store.
Release time: July 2, 2026 at 09:00 UTC
When the July 2 update goes live
The patch drops on July 2, 2026 at 09:00:00 UTC. There is no maintenance window, so you do not need to wait for servers to come back up. The client downloads the update in the background, and you can keep playing once it applies.
You know the update landed when the new store bundle and the Pop & Win promo appear in the store and event tabs. If they are not showing yet, restart the client so it pulls the latest build.
Swimsuit Special skins in Version 20260702
Three heroes finish the 2026 Swimsuit Special set with this update. Lady Loki and White Fox come from the Pop & Win ☆ Cross-Pool Promo, while Captain America arrives as a paid store bundle.
| Hero | Skin | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Lady Loki | Seaside Siren | Pop & Win ☆ Cross-Pool Promo |
| White Fox | Coastal Kumiho | Pop & Win ☆ Cross-Pool Promo |
| Captain America | Seaside Sentinel Bundle | Store |
The Pop & Win promo runs for a limited window, from July 2, 2026 at 09:00:00 UTC through July 31, 2026 at 02:00:00 UTC. Grab the Lady Loki and White Fox costumes before that window closes, since the promo is time-limited.
How the 2026 Swimsuit Special rollout was staggered
The 2026 Summer Festival added 10 new beach outfits, but they did not all launch on the same day. NetEase spread them across the event, tied to the Hellfire Bay Beach social hub that opened after the June 18 update. The July 2 patch delivers the last batch of that lineup.
| Release point | Heroes |
|---|---|
| Festival start (after June 18) | Emma Frost, Doctor Strange |
| June 26 | Black Widow, Daredevil |
| Final wave (July 2 update) | Lady Loki, White Fox, Captain America |
| Krakoan Reels event track | Mister Fantastic, Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger |
The Mister Fantastic, Spider-Man, and Cloak & Dagger costumes sit under the Krakoan Reels event, which acts as the Summer Festival’s progression track. That makes them the closest thing to last year’s event-pass swimsuit rewards.
Where the swimsuit collection stands now
Counting only main outfits, Marvel Rivals now carries 20 swimsuit or beachwear skins across its 2025 and 2026 summer lineups. That total breaks down into three groups.
| Wave | Skins |
|---|---|
| 2025 Summer Special | 5 (Luna Snow, Psylocke, Loki, Thor, The Thing) |
| 2025 Summer Special Vol. 2 | 5 (Human Torch, Mantis, The Thing, Invisible Woman, The Punisher) |
| 2026 Swimsuit Special | 10 (including this July 2 wave) |
Both 2025 events are also running again through the 616 Day Vault, which brings back the earlier shop skins for purchase for a limited time. If you missed the original Summer Special or Vol. 2 cosmetics, that vault is the way to pick them up while it is live.
With the July 2 update, the 2026 Swimsuit Special is complete. Focus on the Pop & Win promo first, since Lady Loki – Seaside Siren and White Fox – Coastal Kumiho leave with that window at the end of July, then decide whether the Captain America – Seaside Sentinel Bundle is worth adding from the store.
