A new free Black Widow skin may be coming to Marvel Rivals . According to recent leaks, the NetEase Games game will host a special event from March 7th to April 11th, offering players a version inspired by the Marvel 1872 series.

The look places Natasha Romanoff in the Wild West, wearing a cowboy hat with its famous logo, a red bandana, leather gloves, and even a classic revolver. Furthermore, the aesthetic evokes a setting worthy of Red Dead Redemption 2, bringing a unique style to the heroine.
Wild West Black Widow and the Bucky Barnes Connection
In the Marvel 1872 comic, Black Widow is portrayed as Natasha Barnes, wife of Sheriff James "Bucky" Barnes. However, after her husband's death, she becomes a horse-mounted vigilante, fighting corruption and helping to overthrow Mayor Wilson Fisk. The story takes place on Earth-51920 and features Western versions of heroes like Captain America and Iron Man.
If the leaked skin is confirmed, it could be a sign that other versions of the Marvel 1872 universe will also arrive in the game in the future. Furthermore, the event's end coincides with the supposed start date of the second season of Marvel Rivals, which could indicate even more themed content to come.
Marvel Rivals continues to expand its roster and skins
Since its launch, Marvel Rivals has been a success, with constant updates bringing new characters and cosmetics inspired by the comics and the MCU. In February, the Thing and the Human Torch were added to the game, and leaks indicate that Blade may be one of the next to join the roster of playable heroes.
NetEase has already released special skins for several characters, such as Punk Rage Hulk, which caught fans' attention with unusual references. Thus, the possible arrival of Black Widow in a Western outfit reinforces the game's commitment to offering distinctive visuals connected to the vast Marvel universe.
As the event approaches, players await official confirmation from the developer about the free skin and possible new additions to the game.
