With marvel rivals dlc Rivals, we have once again got new versions of many classic characters from the Marvel universe. And though they are still our favorite heroes and villains as always, new versions mean they can often have specific details in their stories or even relate to moments from other versions of them from comics, movies, and s

With TF2's massive issues, Overwatch 2 has had little to no competition for years, so NetEase's take on hero-shooters is a positive for the genre, even if you'd rather stick to Blizzard's take on it. Marvel Rivals could be better though, so we would like to highlight eight aspects of it that can be impro

**Marvel Rivals will be playable on PC, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X/S ** , with the PC option including both Steam and the Epic Games Store as possible marketplaces. The comic hero shooter will support crossplay on release, but this feature will be turned off for the competitive mode. This is almost surely because of the difference in input devices – mouse and keyboard for PC users, and controllers for those on consoles. As of now, there has been no indication if cross-platform progression will be a feat

**Marvel Rivals will be completely free-to-play ** for anyone who wants access to it. It was also announced at Gamescom that every hero on release and in the future can be unlocked for free by playing the game. As of now, there is no official news on microtransactions in Marvel Rivals . However, based on the genre and free-to-play status, there is a likely chance of paid battle passes and cosmetics to help fund the g

Along with these 25, a good chunk of heroes has been predicted through datamining or hinted at through promotional material, including Doctor Doom, Wolverine, Ultron, and Vision . Overall, the list of potential characters that could be added is immense. The game already seems to be willing to use lesser-known/utilized characters, like Jeff or Hela, which is a good sign for the future. It will be interesting to see how frequently new characters are released after lau

Giving tanks 150 extra HP, or Strategists 15 percent bonus healing isn't balancing, it is a blanket fix that directly harms players who've mastered their heroes. The Venom specialist who knows exactly how much damage he can take before using his Symbiotic Resilience will be punished after the season ends, because he has 150 less HP. Make these bonuses more unique, or remove them entir

**Marvel Rivals will be released on December 6, 2024 ** , which is amazing news for a game that was originally predicted to not be released until 2025. However, this may not be the next time players get to experience the new title. Rumors have circulated about an open beta sometime before launch, and with this release date, that would likely be in the coming months if one is planned. This would be a smart move since there was some frustration around the closed betas' low chance of gaining acc

The key to a successful hero shooter is balance. Making a mechanically sound game is great, but if your characters aren’t balanced, it’s probably not going to do too well. Marvel Rivals is no different, something the team is well aware

Another popular movie addition, Thanos, would fit perfectly as a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals . Thanos has the natural bulk to play the Tank role and would synergize well with the other roles. His kit would also be incredibly easy to make when basing it around his infinity gauntlet . The gauntlet could be his basic attack or replaced with his twin blade sword for a cooler eff

"We have a statistic model that helps us to deal with the balancing problem, and we run tons of tests to see whether these numbers need to be adjusted," Chen tells me. "We also have tests to manipulate what happens when beginner players use a character, and we have super good players in our team to replicate the pro playe

Though not as well known as others, the recent popularity of X-Men 97 and _Deadpool & Wolverine _ makes this a perfect time to bring in this mutant. Gambit plays perfectly in the DPS role and has the potential to mesh with his fellow X-Men teammates. His basic attack would also be the easiest part of his kit, allowing him to deal ranged damage with his explosive car

With confidence clearly flowing throughout the Marvel Rivals team, I asked Chen if there was any fear that what happened to Concord could happen to their game. His answer was simple, "No, we’re confident with our ga

Captain Marvel's kit could play well into her binary powers by giving her two forms in the place of an ultimate . Her standard form would build up binary power, and at any point players can switch to her binary mode to enhance her abilities. An example of this is her standard form basic attack being a regular punch, while her enhanced would be a binary blast of explosive power. This kind of kit would make Captain Marvel a Duelist with a high skill ceiling and creativ
