Marvel Rivals Queen’s Codex Event Offers Players Exclusive New Skin

Sure thing, here’s a version of the article with that raw, human touch:

Alright, so Marvel Rivals is doing this big update, Season 3.5 or something, and it’s hitting on August 8. It’s got this thing called the Queen’s Codex event, where, get this, you can snag a skin for The Thing — for free. Free stuff is always nice, yeah? Anyway, it’s not the first time Marvel Rivals has thrown out free costumes. Twitch drops, in-game events, you name it. This Queen’s Codex thing is just the latest, and folks are pretty hyped to grab it for their collections.

Oh, and there’s a picture here of what I assume is The Thing in his new digs. It’s like they’re teasing some symbiote skin — looks wild. I had to squint to really see it, not gonna lie.

Now, for those who love decorating their game avatars, costumes are all the rage in Marvel Rivals. I mean, who wouldn’t want their character wearing symbiote suits or flashy gold and white numbers? Some fans are really digging the symbiote line, like that Jeff the Land Shark thing and Squirrel Girl, which, by the way, is kinda quirky but oddly fitting.

So yeah, the developer, NetEase, they popped this news about Queen’s Codex on us. Starting August 8, players can hop in and start unlocking stuff — oh, and get this, the symbiote look for The Thing is totally free. No wallet damage required.

Speaking of free, The Thing gets to go symbiote, that’s cool. But if you’re feeling fancy, you gotta pay for the Premium Codex. That’ll get you some other skins like Black Widow in Phoenix gear and Hela as the Queen of Black. Sounds dramatic, doesn’t it? And there’s this new spray thing you can flaunt in the game. Pro tip: buying this premium pass means you keep it forever so you can unlock goodies at your own speed. Oh, they fixed some glitch with Hela too, so I guess she gets a little something fancy now.

But back to The Thing — seems he’s getting more costume love this season. There’s this Summer Special thing where you can nab Sunshine Thing, which I kid you not, has him in a black swimsuit and a Hawaiian lei. Classy, right? That event is hanging around till August 15, but like the Queen’s Codex, if you buy in, it’s yours forever.

Okay, August 8 is shaping up to be a big day. This Season 3.5 update also tosses Blade into the mix, tweaks team stuff, throws in a new map (Throne of Knull — I’m guessing that sounds like something epic), and a fresh game mode called Resource Rumble. I’m curious how that’ll play out. It’s hitting Quick Match first on August 22 for a test run so players can shoot their thoughts to the developers before it gets real in competitive play.

And hey, sorry if I meandered a bit. Guess there’s a lot coming up in Marvel Rivals. Anyway — wait, no — where was I? Right, let’s just see how this all pans out!
