Yesterday's speculation turned out to be true. Marvel Rivals is truly heroic third-person action that offers six-on-six battles with famous superheroes and supervillains of the Marvel universe in familiar locations. Reminds Overwatch from Blizzard.
Collaboration is important in Marvel Rivals. Each hero and villain has unique abilities as well as map-destroying abilities from across the Marvel Multiverse. You will be able to choose from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men and many others. More than ten characters will be available in the May/May Alpha Test, including iconic ones like Black Panther, Spider-Man, Magneto and Magik.
NetEase Games where they work authors of the Call of Duty and Battlefield series, claims to be their most ambitious game to date. They want to bring to PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store) exciting battles on a battlefield that changes and never gets boring. Collaboration between characters and creative destruction of environments from Asgard to Tokyo in 2099 will also be important.
Marvel Rivals will be free-to-play. Seasons of new content are promised, bringing new superheroes to the battlefield along with diverse maps. The story is not forgotten either. It revolves around the merciless clash between the tyrannical dictator Doctor Doom and his counterpart from the future of 2099. This clash has caused the intertwining of time streams in countless universes, creating new worlds and previously unknown problems. Because of this, superheroes and supervillains from across the multiverse must fight together and against each other to see who can defeat both Dooms before one of them gains dominance over these realities.
“We are extremely excited to bring Marvel Rivals to players around the world. We've always loved the Marvel Universe and its characters, and we're excited to develop this game. This is the game we wanted to make,” said producer Stephen Wu.
Only the PC version is confirmed so far. Yesterday there was also unofficial talk about versions for smartphones and tablets.
