According to data miners, Hawkeye’s legendary Ronin costume and Thor’s Rune King costume will be the next to come to the Marvel Rivals shop, with a tentative release date of April 3, quickly following the Thrice-Cursed King costume for Black Panther and Fist of Vengeance costume for Moon Knight this weekend.

Dataminers and leakers were all over the info this morning once a new update was pushed live for Marvel Rivals, revealing the two new skins. The info found within the files states that Hawkeye’s Ronin Bundle will cost 2,200 Credits as it’s a legendary with unique sounds and animations, and Thor’s Rune King bundle is an epic skin and will be 1,600 Credits when they hit the store. Both bundles include additional items like MVP animations, emotes, and sprays.

Ronin Hawkeye first appeared in New Avengers #27 in 2004, and the costume for Hawkeye’s alter ego made a brief appearance in the Avengers: Endgame movie when Clint Barton went rogue and started slicing and taking down gangsters and other evil-doers.

Rune King Thor first appeared in Thor #60 back in 1998, and is an extremely amped-up and more powerful version of the Asgardian God of Thunder. He was so powerful, in fact, that he was able to push Yggdrasil, the world tree, which holds an infinite amount of realities, worlds, and dimensions.

When it comes to Marvel Rivals, it feels like the potential for the game and its additional content is truly infinite. With the multiverse in mind, there’s seemingly a never-ending supply of source material for heroes, maps, skins, and everything else to pull from, so the game’s future continues to look bright well beyond its launch window.

Oh, and elsewhere in the datamine, a Twerking emote for Venom was also added as an April Fools’ surprise and final reward for those who finish the Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure event. So, there’s that.

Season two of Marvel Rivals is tentatively set to begin on April 11.
