Marvel Rivals' Magik Unleashes The Darkchilde In Stunning Eldritch Armor Skin

Day three of the global countdown to the launch of the superhero team-based PvP shooter Marvel Rivals continues to tick away as developer NetEase Games posted their latest gaming announcement. It was previously revealed by the game's executive producer Danny Koo on Discord (h/t Miller Ross)  that players can expect daily news announcements in the lead-up to its launch on 6th December 2024, which, thus far, revealed new skins for the Hulk and Iron Man.

As the countdown clock strikes 12 am UTC, the game's developer released a new Rivals Assemble promo video for the Duelist, Magik (Illyana Rasputin). Alongside this recent character promo video was the latest game announcement in which players were treated to yet another amazing new cosmetic.

Another day has started, meaning another new announcement for Marvel Rivals was posted across their social media accounts. After unveiling new cosmetics for the Hulk, the "Green Scar" skin, and the "Superior Iron Man" skin for Iron Man, the Duelist Magik is officially confirmed to be gaining a cosmetic herself in the form of the Eldritch Armor skin available at the game's launch.

The Eldritch Armor skin is based on the armor of the same name that Magik gained first appearing in the New Mutants (1983) #65 comic after summoning her Soulsword. This armor now has a place in Marvel Rivals as Magik mains will be able to obtain this striking argent skin, which will be available in-game at launch; however, details on how to acquire it are unknown as of writing.

Plenty more announcements and exclusive reveals are en route and are expected to be made by the developer as we approach Marvel Rivals' global launch for consoles and PCs in December 2024. One rumor floating online is a possible announcement for the next playable character or confirming Moon Knight's inclusion in Marvel Rivals, as the character was teased in Psylocke's Character Reveal trailer in September 2024.
