Marvel Rivals Reveals Gambit X-Men ’97 Season 2 Costume, Available September 3

The official @MarvelRivals account posted a promotional video and details for a new Gambit skin inspired by his villainous/Apocalypse-aligned look from Marvel Studios’ X-Men ’97 Season 2 (2026). It uses the quote “You mistake weakness for virtue, and that is why you will lose, as you always do!” and notes the skin drops September 3 at 7 PM PT (MVP items coming later free to bundle owners). It is trending due to strong engagement driven by the popular game’s skin drops, the X-Men ’97 tie-in, and immediate fan backlash over the design.
