Marvel Games and NetEase have announced a new adventure in the superhero multiverse, Marvel Rivals. This free-to-play 6-on-6 team-based shooter will bring beloved comic book icons to PC. The game will feature characters from different groups in the Marvel universe, such as the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the X-Men. A closed alpha test for Marvel Rivals is set to take place in May, with a release date yet to be announced.
Marvel Rivals promises dynamic battlefields that will change as powers are deployed during each match in locations like Asgard and 2099 Tokyo. The destruction and alteration of the environment will not only be visually stunning but also offer strategic advantages against adversaries. Players who find the right combination of heroes will unlock special powers, like Rocket Raccoon jumping on Groot’s back or Hulk releasing Gamma energy on Iron Man for devastating attacks.
As with other free-to-play games, Marvel Rivals will continue to evolve and introduce new content with each season, including playable characters and maps. Each season will contribute to the ongoing story of Marvel Rivals, written by NetEase’s team. This story revolves around a battle between Doctor Doom and his future self from the year 2099 that has caused multiple universes to collide in the Time Tangle. To prevent further chaos, heroes and villains from different universes must unite to save their worlds.
Overall, Marvel Rivals promises an exciting gaming experience with its unique blend of characters, evolving gameplay, and engaging storyline. Gamers can look forward to entering the superhero multiverse and teaming up with their favorite comic book icons to fight for the greater good.
