Dive into the action with Marvel Rivals: The new hero shooter on the block

Join the fight in Marvel Rivals, the new hero shooter where Marvel's heroes and villains clash in team-based battles.

Are you ready for a brand-new gaming adventure that mixes the excitement of team-based multiplayer shooters with the iconic universe of Marvel superheroes and supervillains? Marvel Rivals is gearing up to bring you precisely that, in a clash of titans, unlike anything you’ve seen before. Developed in collaboration between Marvel and NetEase Games, this game invites you to pick your side in epic six-on-six battles across fantastical and futuristic arenas, including the majestic realms of Asgard and the neon-lit streets of Tokyo 2099.

The game that blends heroes with tactics

At its core, Marvel Rivals is all about strategic teamwork, utilising the diverse abilities of Marvel’s vast roster of characters. So far, 18 heroes and villains are confirmed to join the fray, including fan favourites like Black Panther, Iron Man, and Loki, along with newer faces like Luna Snow, a K-pop sensation turned ice mage. The game promises a free-to-play experience with a third-person perspective, drawing inspiration from popular shooters like Overwatch but with a distinct Marvel twist.

What sets Marvel Rivals apart is its innovative Team-Up moves, which allow characters to combine their powers in spectacular fashion. Imagine Groot and Rocket Raccoon teaming up for a destructive duo or Hulk supercharging Iron Man’s repulsors with gamma radiation. The possibilities for creative teamwork are boundless, promising dynamic and thrilling gameplay.

A fresh take on multiplayer action

Developed by veterans who’ve lent their expertise to franchises like Call of Duty and Battlefield, Marvel Rivals aims to redefine the multiplayer shooter genre. The game will not confine characters to rigid class roles but will instead offer a variety of powers and playstyles to suit every type of gamer. Whether you’re into ranged attacks, close-quarters combat, or melee brawls, there’s a hero for you. And with Team-Up moves ranging from simple pairings to complex multi-character combos, mastering the game’s mechanics promises to be both challenging and rewarding.

Get ready for the alpha test this May

With an alpha test slated for May, eager fans won’t have to wait long to get their first taste of Marvel Rivals. The game is still in the tuning phase, with developers working hard to perfect character selection rules and modes. But one thing’s for sure: when Marvel Rivals hits the scene, it will offer a fresh and exciting new way to experience the Marvel Universe in a multiplayer setting.

For those who’ve always dreamt of stepping into the shoes of their favourite Marvel characters and duking it out in spectacular battles, Marvel Rivals is shaping to be the game to watch. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the alpha test, and prepare to join the fight in this eagerly anticipated hero shooter.
