Disney+ is offering subscribers a free Marvel Rivals skin through its Disney+ Perks program. The Loki skin is an exclusive "Twilight Aurora" version of “The Avengers” costume that released in the hero shooter on May 1.
If you already own the skin, you’ll get the new chroma. If you don’t own the skin, you’ll officially have this Disney+-exclusive version, essentially getting you the costume for free.
The Disney+ skin is a specific chroma that features the blueish color associated with the streaming service itself. You’ll still need to buy the original skin for any other color scheme, so if you’re interested in the skin for the movie accuracy, maybe this deal isn’t entirely worth it. On the flip side, the Twilight Aurora chroma is exclusive to the Disney+ perk, so if you are already subscribed, why not grab a freebie.
The general design of the skin is, as you’d guess from its name, inspired by Loki’s appearance in Joss Whedon’s The Avengers movie, an MCU classic. While it doesn’t look strikingly different from the default Loki skin, I’ll admit there’s at least a lot less fur.
If you want to start doing some real funny math, the base “The Avengers” costume currently costs 1,400 lattice on its own, 2,200 if you get it through "The Avengers" bundle. Now, I acknowledge that Marvel Rivals isn’t shy about offering ways to grind up lattice through events and missions, but, assuming you're trying to buy the Loki skin from nothing, you’d end up having to pay at least $19.99 for the 2,180 lattice bundle. Meanwhile, Disney+ subscriptions happen to start at $11.99, $12.99 if you throw in Hulu. See what I’m getting at here?
The streaming service launched the Disney+ Perks program almost exactly a year ago to offer subscribers an "always-on" set of deals and sweepstakes. Other perks available right now include six months of DoorDash DashPash, 15% off Funko.com, and a chance to win a bundle of Daredevil comics to promote Daredevil: Born Again.
Speaking of Daredevil, this isn’t the first time the streaming service has collaborated with Marvel Rivals. Disney+ subscribers also got exclusive access to the "Twilight Aurora" Daredevil costume back in October, so it's almost guaranteed we see more gaming perks pop up in the future.
