NetEase Games has released a brand new cosmetic bundle in Marvel Rivals called Krakoa Resort. The spotlight is currently on a new Squirrel Girl costume that is a part of this bundle. Called the Sunshine Squirrel, this is a beach-themed skin that has a lot of small details that fans absolutely love. The second skin in the bundle is Sunshine Raccoon, a skin for Rocket Raccoon. Apart from this, the bundle includes nameplates, MVP animations, emotes, and sprays.
Fans can also currently grab skins inspired by Marvel Studios’ latest movie, Thunderbolts*, but is all of this enough to keep players satisfied? It has been observed that Marvel Rivals‘ popularity is slowly dipping, and clearly, all these new skins aren’t doing much to save the game.

Squirrel Girl’s outfit is great, but fans love Tippy-Toe more. She appears to have tiny sunglasses as she is also ready to hit the beach. This skin comes from Marvel Infinity Comics #7, which also teased skins for Jeff the Land Shark, The Thing, Storm, Magik, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Peni Parker, Thor, and Scarlet Witch.

The Sunshine Squirrel skin can be acquired by purchasing the Krakoa Bundle for 3000 Units, which is currently on a discount. In case you don’t want the Rocket Raccoon skin, you can also get the Sunshine Squirrel bundle separately from the store for 1600 units.
Is Marvel Rivals‘ hype slowing down?

New skins are great, but if NetEase doesn’t do something about the unbalanced heroes, it will soon convince gamers to uninstall the game. As per the statistics on Steamcharts.com, Marvel Rivals has been slowly losing its players. In January, the game averaged 306,065 players; in April, that number dropped to 134,118. Most skins in the game feel like an attempt to attract a male audience, but apart from that, NetEase isn’t really doing anything to make the game exciting.

Many heroes are still unbalanced, some gameplay features are still broken, and players are still running into minor or major technical issues. The game also lacks a role queue system, which completely ruins the team composition.
Hopefully, the season 2.5 update will turn things around as NetEase has planned to add Ultron to the game, along with a lot of new content. The highly anticipated update will roll out on May 30th, 2025.
