Virgin Media customers to get timed exclusive Marvel’s Avengers skins

by Nicola Ardron on August 14, 2020

If you are a Virgin Media customer you will be able to get time exclusive Marvel’s Avengers skins for all six main characters. In addition, customers have early beta access this weekend starting today and finishing on Sunday 16.

The outfits, which are only available to Virgin Media customers in the UK, are inspired by developer Crystal Dynamics’ favourite comic book looks featuring Virgin Media’s recognisable red colour. The skins will be unique and won’t be able to be equipped by anyone but Virgin Media customers when the game launches on 4 September.

At launch Virgin Media customers will have ninety days to claim the exclusive outfits. The skins are as follows:

Hulk: Ascendancy Outfit
Black Widow: Lucent Shadow Outfit
Captain America: Burning Might Outfit
Iron Man: Jet Stream Armor Outfit
Ms. Marvel: Event Horizon Outfit
Thor: Light Breaker Outfit

Also included in the announcement is a tease that Virgin Media customers should keep an eye on social media and streaming platforms as there is expected to be more surprises and exclusive content to come.

Virgin Media has also announced a partnership with Arekkz Gaming squad to give their customers a run-down of what to expect in Marvel’s Avengers. The squad provides tips and inside knowledge on their own experience via their YouTube channel.

Cilesta Van Doorn, Director of Brand and Marketing at Virgin Media, said: “There is no better time to be a gamer, a fan of Marvel’s Avengers and, of course, a Virgin Media customer. Not only are we giving our customers incredibly stylish and exclusive skins, we are also giving them early beta access to assemble with friends online and play as their favourite Super Heroes.”

Karl Stewart, Head of Worldwide Strategic Partnerships for Square Enix, said: “We’re so excited to be partnering with Virgin Media across the entire Marvel’s Avengers campaign. We’re delighted to be able to offer Virgin Media customers the opportunity to jump in and experience what’s it’s like to be an Avenger ahead of the game’s official release on September 4th. As we close in on launch, we’re delighted to be coming together to offer their customers something unique and creative. These skins are all about taking things to another level.”
