Marvel Rivals is bringing its swimsuit lineup back with Summer Special Vol. 2, a limited-time Event Pass rolling out mid‑September. The pass includes three new costumes (two Epic, one Legendary) alongside sprays, nameplates, emotes, emoji bundles, MVP animations, and currency drops. It follows the familiar two‑track structure — free and premium — with 21 total rewards earned by playing matches in Marvel Rivals.

Key dates and timing

  • Event start: September 18 at 2:00 AM PT
  • Expected duration: roughly one month; based on the prior Summer Special, plan for availability through about October 17
  • Shop drops: Punisher and Invisible Woman swimsuit skins arrive September 18 at 7:00 PM PT

Note: The end date hasn’t been formally announced; the one‑month window reflects how the earlier summer event ran.

What’s actually in Summer Special Vol. 2

Vol. 2 splits rewards across three pages you progress through with match XP. Highlights include:

  • Human Torch — “Sunny Sizzler” (costume) plus spray, nameplate, emote, and an MVP animation
  • The Thing — “Rocky Tide” (costume, free) plus spray, nameplate, emote, and an MVP animation
  • Mantis — “Oceanic Harmony” (Legendary costume) plus spray, nameplate, emote, and an MVP animation
  • Mood and emoji bundles for The Punisher, Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Mantis
  • Unstable Molecules (x200 on Page Two and Page Three)

All three costumes in this pass support additional color palettes. Mantis’ Legendary also includes Ultimate ability VFX updates.

Free vs. Premium: how the pass works

  • Total rewards: 21 (13 free, 8 premium)
  • Progression: earn XP by playing matches; there’s no daily cap for Vol. 2
  • Upgrade any time: buying Premium doesn’t reset progress — you can retro‑claim unlocked premium tiers
  • Post‑event claims: if you purchased the Event Pass, you retain access to claim any uncollected rewards after the event ends

Pricing for Vol. 2 hasn’t been confirmed; community expectation is 990 Lattice (about $9.99), in line with the previous Summer Special pass.

Two shop‑only swimsuits land the same day

Alongside the pass, two Legendary swimsuit skins will be sold directly in the in‑game shop on September 18 at 7:00 PM PT:

  • Punisher (Legendary) — 2,200 Units
  • Invisible Woman (Legendary) — 2,200 Units

What you get for free, what you pay for

Free track highlights:

  • The Thing — Rocky Tide costume (plus its spray, nameplate, emote, and MVP animation)
  • Human Torch and Mantis cosmetics across pages (sprays, nameplates, emotes), emoji bundles, and Unstable Molecules

Premium track highlights:

  • Human Torch — Sunny Sizzler costume
  • Mantis — Oceanic Harmony (Legendary) costume
  • Additional mood/emoji bundles and MVP animations

Value check

Event Passes in Marvel Rivals have typically offered strong cosmetic value: here, one Legendary and two Epics can be earned for roughly the cost players expect (around 990 Lattice), which is less than a single shop Legendary. The absence of a daily XP cap makes it feasible to clear the pass quickly if you can play early and often. If you care most about Mantis’ Legendary with its Ultimate VFX and palette options, the premium upgrade is the direct path.

Quick FAQ

  • How do I progress the pass? Play matches to earn XP; you don’t need hero‑specific missions for this event.
  • Can I buy Premium later? Yes. Upgrading unlocks any premium rewards you’ve already passed.
  • Do I lose the pass when it ends? If you bought it, you can still claim uncollected rewards afterward.
  • Are recolors available? Yes — all three Vol. 2 costumes have additional color palettes once you own the base skin.

Bottom line: if you want three on‑theme swimsuits for the cost of a single pass and the flexibility to grind without a daily cap, Summer Special Vol. 2 is designed for quick, straightforward unlocks — and the shop adds two more high‑profile swimsuits on day one for collectors who prefer to buy outright.
