New Marvel Rivals swimsuit costumes are being revealed in the summer – the costumes debut as a part of MARVEL SWIMSUIT SPECIAL: FRIENDS, FOES & RIVALS #1, an annual one-shot that releases on July 9, 2025.
The one-shot is a part of the Swimsuit Special, which features artwork with Marvel characters in swimsuits. These one-shots contain an overarching story, but the main purpose of the one-shot is to serve more so as an art showcase over canonical development. The upcoming MARVEL SWIMSUIT SPECIAL: FRIENDS, FOES & RIVALS #1 is the first of its kind, as it celebrates Marvel Rivals characters.
