NetEase released a new summer skin for Captain America in Marvel Rivals on July 2. The outfit features a skimpy red white and blue design that has drawn attention online. It joins other seasonal costumes including ones for Lady Loki and White Fox.
The skin shows Steve Rogers in a revealing costume that covers just enough to avoid content flags. Players noted distinctive movement when using emotes, with some attributing the effect to rigging rather than deliberate design.
NetEase has stated that Marvel Rivals is not intended as a gooner game. Observers pointed out that the ongoing release of such skins appears to contradict that position.
Reactions on social media highlighted the skin's animation details. One post questioned whether Overwatch would introduce similar options for characters like Soldier 76.
