Doctor Strange Becomes The Ultimate Sorcerer Supreme In New Cosmetic For Marvel Rivals

Almost two weeks have passed since Marvel Rivals executive producer Danny Koo announced on the game's Discord server (h/t Miller Ross) that players can anticipate daily news announcements at 12 am UTC, culminating in its global launch. The game is on track towards its console and PC release on 6th December 2024 as a free-to-play (F2P) title with all heroes announced unlocked from day one, including the recently confirmed playable character, Moon Knight, which has an exclusive "Mister Knight" skin available to all players.

In continuing this trend with these game announcements, developer NetEase Games posted its latest announcement to the Marvel Rivals social media accounts, which, for the tenth day, is for the good doctor himself, Dr. Steven Strange, but we know him as Doctor Strange. This coincided with the latest Rivals Assemble character promo video uploaded online, which accompanied a new look for the Vanguard classed character.

Day 10 of the daily news announcements for the superhero team-based PvP shooter Marvel Rivals saw a new Rivals Assemble character promo video for Doctor Strange. We also saw another new cosmetic announcement for Doctor Strange following a batch of confirmed heroes over the past two weeks, like the Hulk, Iron Man, and Magik.

Unlike the recent wave of announcements that borrowed certain characters' appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Doctor Strange's newest cosmetic is lifted from the character's comic book appearance. Introducing Strange's "Sorcerer Supreme of the Galaxy" skin, which was announced on 11th November 2024 on their social media accounts, is the character's latest skin, which first appeared in Doctor Strange (2018) #5, which sees Strange making new developments on "his armory with alien magic and arcane weapons," however, he realized that he's beyond his ability and this may have "dire consequences" for him and his allies.

It has yet to be confirmed how exactly players will be able to acquire all the announced cosmetics for the multiple playable characters, but it seems more likely it may be obtained by completing Galacta's Quest missions. We'll update this and other related pages as we get closer to the game's release on 6th December 2024, which is available to add to players' Wishlist to be notified when it's available for the preferred platform.
