Playable characters include Spider-Man, Hulk, Magneto, Iron Man and many more, with Team-Up Skills and destructible environments.
NetEase Games and Marvel Games have announced a new 6v6 team-based shooter, Marvel Rivals. Coming to PC, with a closed alpha test set for May, it features several heroes from the X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy to the Avengers, Spider-Man, Hulk and more.
Each hero sports unique abilities based on their comic book versions. They can also initiate Team-Up Skills for more mayhem. Rocket Raccoon can ride on Groot and shoot enemies, while Hulk can charge Iron Man with Gamma energy (don’t ask how). The announced maps include Asgard and Tokyo 2099, with destructible environments and “countless ways” to leverage one’s surroundings.
Marvel Rivals will feature post-launch seasons bringing new heroes and maps, with further details yet to be revealed. Neither company mentioned whether the title would come to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
