A new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe lineup is set to launch in Marvel Rivals this week, featuring a remarkable skin that recalls one of the most iconic scenes in MCU history. The Captain America skin from Infinity War will be available for purchase on February 6 at 8 PM CT.
Priced at 2,200 Units, the bundle offers several exciting items. At its core is Captain America’s outfit from the film, showcasing a bearded Steve Rogers who no longer wields his signature shield and sports a more rugged look.
The bundle also includes a unique nameplate, a spray, and an impressive MVP animation that stands out among the game’s current offerings, which already feature a variety of impressive animations.
This animation pays homage to a particularly thrilling moment in Infinity War. In this tense scene, Scarlet Witch and Vision find themselves in peril, under attack from Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, members of Thanos’ Black Order. Just as the situation seems dire, a shadowy figure emerges from behind a passing train, remaining concealed until the train has completely passed.
As Proxima launches her spear with astonishing speed towards the figure, he dodges effortlessly, catching the spear mid-air. Emerging from the shadows is none other than Steve Rogers, sporting a thick beard for the first time since the Avengers’ division depicted at the end of Captain America: Civil War. With swift agility, he sends the spear back toward Proxima, which is intercepted by Black Widow, igniting the ensuing battle.
The exhilaration of witnessing this moment for the first time in theaters is a memory many fans cherish, second only to the emotional impact of Avengers: Endgame. Thanks to Marvel Rivals, players can revisit these thrilling MCU moments through skins like this one.
With a wealth of iconic scenes, characters, and narratives to draw from, Marvel Rivals has a built-in advantage. Credit goes to NetEase for effectively managing and expanding this intellectual property.
Notably, the skin reflects the absence of Captain America’s iconic shield, as he did not possess it during Infinity War after returning it to Tony Stark following the events of Civil War. Instead, it features the dual Wakandan shields gifted to him by Black Panther, showcasing the attention to detail that resonates with passionate fans and players alike.
As Marvel Rivals’ first season progresses, anticipation builds for the introduction of two beloved characters, The Thing and Human Torch from the Fantastic Four, who are expected to join the game before the close of February.
For those wishing to bask in nostalgia, the original scene from Infinity War is available to view below, along with audience reactions that encapsulate the sheer excitement of that cinematic moment.
