"Our plan, when we got the IP, was to make this game from the beginning. It has always been quite firm. We are making a 6v6 superhero team-building game. We are making a PvP game; a story mode is not included in our plan or roadmap," he says. The reason for this? "Our team really likes rivalry and competitive game modes, so we wanted to inject that kind of style or features and make Marvel Rivals into that kind of ga

The weight and delivery of the sentence shows how much Erik learned from all his fighting, along with a strong scolding tone towards Namor and his warmongering mentality, showing how different the two mutants

League of Legends is perhaps the most popular instance of this, and the free rotation is known as a feature of many MOBAs, also seen in Heroes of the Storm and Smite . It has leaked its way into other genres, like with Overwatch 2, Paladins , and Multiverses , but this is something that Marvel Rivals is avoiding. In fact, all the characters will be free to use at launch and beyond , which is amazing, considering that the roster of heroes and villains is massive for a game that is yet to be relea

With the latest trailer, Marvel Rivals _ **** _ has revealed many new, exciting features to get players ready for the full release at the end of the year. Two more heroes have been added to an already impressive yet continually growing cast and have been shown off in their full glory. These heroes are Captain America and The Winter Soldier, and are likely two of many more since Doctor Doom was hinted at in the 'No One Rivals Doom' cinematic trailer that was released at Comic-Con 2

Cyclops has long been a controversial member of the X-Men , but he’s also a fan favorite. His optic blasts would fit right into Marvel Rivals , being a good counter for those characters who like to get too cl

The in-game currency was incredibly easy to get in the Closed Network Test, and if the game is to make money on cosmetics, they will likely be harder to unlock in the full release. This is a worthwhile trade for a massive roster that is fully unlocked from the get-go , and the base designs of the Marvel heroes and villains are nice enough that skins don't feel necessary (they're never necessary anyway, but poor base designs can make them feel needed). It is better than having expensive skins and a free rotat

With Deadpool’s ability to break the fourth wall , players would likely get a kick out of the character speaking to them as they command him. Perhaps he’d even critique the player’s actions. In addition, his expert-level combat abilities would make him a threat at close-range and mid-range distances. His advanced self-healing would also make for a fine passive abil

"We honor the hero shooter by using superheroes, and we wanted to think about what we could do with that. Firstly, we started with the maps and environments . We want to make sure every map has its own destruction model," Chen s

With full access to Marvel Rivals News’s history, including its comics, the MCU, and previous games, Chen confirms that NetEase still has more characters to reveal ahead of launch . But it’s not just the most well-known heroes that will be coming to Rivals, with the director saying, "Every hero has their parallel universe. And the heroes from different universes can join our ga

As of writing, thirty-three characters have been announced , with Moon Knight being one of the latest characters to join the colorful roster. Thanks to the expressive artstyle, the characters often maintain their classic, Marvel designs in spirit, while looking unique, especially compared to their live action appearances. So far, the characters are all fun to play, fit into the different roles well and all have great designs. There's no reason why this roster is going to stay at thirty-three characters eit

Role queue solves this issue, but brings with it too much trouble to be worth it. Duelist queues will be endless, and people will be forced onto an even split between the three roles, instead of being able to experiment. We don't know what the solution here is, but there should be some incentives in place to avoid the pitfalls that we saw Overwatch fall i

Many free-to-play games similar to Marvel Rivals , such as other hero shooters or MOBAs, tend to have systems that involve unlocking heroes . There is usually an in-game currency of some kind to purchase heroes to play and a free rotation of a handful of characters that players can try out when deciding who they want to main. The issue with this is that players tend to stick with a smaller roster of characters and don't get any real time to play everyone they w

"We also put a lot of thought into the team-ups between the heroes , based on their history with Marvel. We have popular ones like Groot and Racoon, but we also have new ones like Venom giving his powers to Penny Parker, which will add more fun to the gamepl
