How to use the mix and match skins MVP animations feature in Marvel Rivals?

Image via NetEase Games Season 3 in Marvel Rivals is knocking at the door as the upcoming seasonal update is going to be dropped on July 11, 2025. This season will mark the beginning of the new seasonal format, where every season will run for two months, with the mid-season refresh planned to be released in the second month. As announced earlier, Marvel Rivals will now launch a hero each month, and we have already got our new characters for the upcoming two months - Phoenix (Jean Grey) and Blade. Along with new maps like Klynter and new team-up abilities, fans are already hyped up about Season 3. However, the most exciting addition of this season is yet to be explored. NetEase Games adds a much requested feature in Season 3 of Marvel Rivals The official YouTube channel of Marvel Rivals has recently hosted the Volumer 7 od Dev Vision, where the Creative Director Guanguyn Chen and other development team members of the game talked about the upcoming season, The Abyss Awakens. In this video, they confirmed that there will be a new feature called mix and match skins MVP animations, which fans have been wanting for a long time. Previously, players used to don the same skin in order to execute the MVP animation, the one which comes clubbed with that particular skin bundle. However, that same skin might not be suitable to wear in the whole match. Still, for the sake of using that animation, players had to equip that skin as that specific MVP animation can't be used with any other skin. However, as the new feature is confirmed, players don't need to worry anymore. After the arrival of Season 3, players will be able to wear any skin they want, and still, they will be able to execute the MVP animation associated with any skin bundle. Season 3 The Abyss Awakens | Dev Vision Vol. 07 | Marvel Rivals However, it seems the MVP animation will use the same skin as its bundle and the gameplay skin will be different. The final frame of the MVP animation is actually pre-rendered, and combining MVP animations with new skins would be a tough job for the developers. But if it comes out the other way around, then this feature will open a new dimension of customization in Marvel Rivals as it will make MVP animations of other skins more appealing, which actually don't have any. A detailed overview about this feature is yet to be disclosed by the developers, so the functionality of this feature is still unknown.
