“NetEase Games and Marvel Games announced that Marvel Rivals, the new Super Hero Team-Based PVP Shooter that lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains battling with unique powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from across the Marvel Multiverse, will officially launch on December 6th of this year. The highly-anticipated game will launch with all heroes free to play.”
The new trailer includes the reveal of both Captain America and the Winter Soldier, as well as the newest map, the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, so basically, all the Marvel nostalgia you could possibly want.
MOP’s own Fight or Columnist Sam found tried the game out earlier this month and found it to be a bit of an Overwatch clone… but in a good way, with actual AAA quality and polish already long before launch.
