Cosmetics are arguably one of the biggest selling points in Marvel Rivals. With iconic Marvel superheroes at the core of these unique and visually striking designs, it's no surprise they’ve become such a highlight. Now, one of the most beloved characters (at least in my opinion), Squirrel Girl, has been confirmed to be getting a new summer-themed skin, alongside a few others. Here are the details you need to know.
Marvel Rivals Squirrel Girl "Sunshine Squirrel" Skin Release Date
Over on the official Marvel Rivals X account, the devs unveiled a brand-new "Sunshine Squirrel" skin for Squirrel Girl. This sunny new look is part of a larger summer-themed skin line that includes a "Sunshine Raccoon" costume for Rocket Raccoon. And if Rocket’s skin is even half as adorable as Squirrel Girl’s, the mains of both characters are eating good.

How to get the Squirrel Girl "Sunshine Squirrel" Skin
The skin will be available for purchase in the in-game cosmetic store, as with most new additions. While the exact price hasn’t been confirmed, based on past bundles, players can likely expect it to cost around 2,200 Units. The bundle will probably include the skin itself, a highlight intro, and a few extras like sprays or banners.
While Squirrel Girl’s kit has sparked some debate and her current meta ranking isn’t exactly top-tier, it’s great to see her getting some love in the cosmetics department. The summer theme suits her upbeat vibe. So be sure to log in this Friday and grab the new “Sunshine Squirrel” skin in Marvel Rivals!
