Marvel Rivals’ Summer Festival Vol. 2 Is Scheduled for August 13 With Six New Swimsuit Skins
Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 will use a fishing minigame-style Event Pass, but its start time and cosmetic unlock methods are still unknown.
Marvel Rivals will add six new Swimsuit Special costumes when the Summer Festival Vol. 2 Event begins on August 13, 2026. The event is still upcoming, and NetEase has not confirmed its exact launch time.
At the center of the event is Krakoan Reels Vol. 2, a fishing-focused Event Pass tied to Season 9.5. Players will earn bait by playing matches, cast for fish, collect event currency, and spend those rewards on cosmetics from the new summer lineup.
The event follows the July 30 arrival of Age of Ultron content, which added a player-versus-environment mode and a free Ultron costume.
Marvel Rivals Summer Festival Vol. 2 start time
NetEase has confirmed the August 13 date but has not provided a launch hour. Marvel Rivals events often begin at 3:00 AM PT, so that remains the current estimate. The regional times below should be treated as provisional until an official schedule appears.

Every new Summer Festival swimsuit skin
The announced lineup is made up of six Duelists:
- Star-Lord
- Winter Soldier
- Scarlet Witch
- Black Cat
- Storm
- Magik
NetEase has not explained how players will unlock each costume. The first Krakoan Reels event offered three skins, so the same arrangement could return for Vol. 2. The remaining costumes may appear in the Store or through another Pop the Balloon minigame, but those possibilities have not been confirmed.
The reveal appeared in the Marvel Rivals: Step into Season 9.5 // Dev Vision Vol. 20 video.
