Marvel Rivals Celebrates 4th of July with Revealing Captain America Swimsuit Skin

NetEase Games is getting into the holiday spirit with a Marvel Rivals swimsuit skin that comes bundled with Captain America’s big package, just in time for the 4th of July. The new cosmetic, titled Seaside Sentinel, gives Captain America a USA summer makeover, complete with an inflatable ducky shield and a very revealing mankini.

The First Avenger is the first to the fun! According to an official description for the swimsuit skin, ‘The beach crew voted Captain America should man the grill, just like the red, white, and blue-blooded specimen of American masculinity people believe he is. Unfortunately, his skills on the grill were not nearly as calculated as his shield throws.’

Captain America is so bulky in the new outfit that it looks almost like an accurate recreation of that infamous Rob Liefeld drawing, and it’s got many wondering if the images and videos circulating around the internet are from a fan-made mod. However, IGN can confirm that the outfit and all of its contents are indeed very real and available to purchase through the Marvel Rivals store.

Regardless of whether you’re on a friendly or enemy team, there’s a good chance you’ll be distracted if another player waltzes out in Seaside Sentinel. As if you needed any proof of that, look no further than social media reactions across the internet.

Some fans took to social media to react to the new cosmetic, with one user joking, ‘Bro Steve stole Thor’s hammer.’ Another user chimed in, ‘Literally America’s ass,’ and added, ‘that’s my goat.’ A Twitter user added, ‘F**king finally.’

Despite NetEase’s insistence that it doesn’t intentionally create ‘gooner content’ for its heroes and villains, Marvel Rivals fans have long called attention to its reliance on revealing outfits. At least as more swimwear joins the collection, players can rest easy knowing Captain America gets a slice of that cake.

Marvel Rivals is available now for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S. Other heroes who received swimsuit skins include Daredevil and Black Widow.
