Marvel Rivals' Art Vision Vol. 3 Release

Marvel Rivals' Art Vision videos give viewers an inside look into the character design process. They cover each step to a fully realized skin release, from concepts to full renders and animations. The development team released Art Vision Vol. 03 on Friday, June 13 2025, and fans quickly noticed the video includes a host of unreleased concepts for skins. In addition, fan-favorite characters like Emma Frost, Psylocke and Scarlet Witch are among them. Here's a quick recap of each design.

Iron Fist's Ultron Virus skin has not yet been released, but Art Vision Vol. 03 included a concept screenshot. It suits Iron Fist in gunmetal armor, also adding trailing yellow ribbons to his headgear and flaming yellow particles.

Unreleased: Hellfire Gala 2025 Thor

Hellfire Gala 2025 Thor is another upcoming skin release. This concept dresses Thor in colorful robes and reimagines him with a golden gauntlet.

Unreleased: New Moon Knight Skin

A new Moon Knight skin is on the horizon. Art Vision Vol. 03 showcased two previously unseen concepts with red-and-white color schemes and new weaponry. This skin looks similar to the Phoenix Five theme, so it may release as part of a set.

Scarlet Witch: Emporium Matron

Scarlet Witch's Emporium Matron skin used to look very different. Aside from its bright crimson color scheme, developers considered white and black dresses and experimented with different hair color options. Uniquely, Scarlet Witch's hair has a flaming ombre effect in the concepts, trailing into a menacing smoke cloud.

Psylocke: Blood Kariudo

Psylocke's Blood Kariudo concepts knocked it out of the park and actually greatly resemble the final skin. There are still some subtle differences — her outfit includes more Gothic elements and a touch of black in many sketches — but the development process for this set seems quite streamlined.

Black Widow's final Hellfire Gala skin differs drastically from its concept art. Her in-game render wears a sleek black catsuit and a full-face spider mask. However, most of the Hellfire Gala original designs from the Art Vision video either include smaller face coverings or no mask at all, and they style Black Widow in a flowing black dress instead.

Psylocke: Vengeance and Early Design Concepts

Psylocke's iconic purple hair and thigh-high boots have slayed since the beginning, but her original outfits varied. Many drew inspiration from Peach Momoko's art style, with soft colors and traditional Japanese elements. In one, Psylocke wears a shortened blue kimono and obi belt. Her final release retained this addition, but remodeled it to a sharper cut.

‼️ PSYLOCKE EARLY DESIGN CONCEPTS

Today's Art Vision video gave us a look at a series of early concepts for both Psylocke's default and Vengeance designs, all featuring unique mixes of Peach Momoko's Sai with classic Psylocke flair.#MarvelRivals pic.twitter.com/IxWegU6GEQ

Meanwhile, Psylocke's Vengeance skins toyed with adding neon purple flame particles on her blade and hair. Marvel Rivals ultimately decided to veer away from this direction, but kept her strappy belt and bandages.

Emma Frost: Default and X-Revolution

Emma Frost was mothering from the beginning in her luxurious white bodysuit. However, her X-Revolution design included several different looks before it arrived. Artists experimented with various cloak lengths and stocking patterns.

Esports Impact

Marvel Rivals' unreleased skin teasers give fans something to look forward to. The game's skins also have a minor impact on characters' pick and ban rates. Pick rates generally increase for new launches while ban rates decrease so players can test them.
