The skin's official in-game description reads:

"If this is my final death, then it shall be a worthy one."

The free costume is available on the 14th tier, and also happens to be the only free skin in the event pass. It has a stunning light blue and white design, which deviates from the usual red and deep blue colors of Doctor Strange's costume. The skin portrays the character as an older version of Stephen Strange who has seemingly lost an eye, likely during battle.

The costume was also previously shown in the Marvel Rivals Season 3.5 Roadmap; a glimpse of it was available in the events section. The in-game description of Doctor Strange's Old Man Strange skin in Marvel Rivals also clarifies that it was first seen in the Immortal Hulk: The Best Defense #1 comic published in 2018.

The event pass also has other interesting rewards to offer. However, most of them require you to purchase the premium upgrade. Some of the other Hero costumes on the pass are:

Venom: Reborn King in Black
Iron Fist: Phoenix Fist
Winter Soldier: Abyssal Flame
Cloak and Dagger: Abyssal Flame

This was everything you needed to know about Doctor Strange's Old Man Strange skin in Marvel Rivals and how you can earn it for free in-game.
