Created by NetEase Games, Marvel Rivals shares a similar concept to its competitors, highlighting a lineup of heroes and villains battling against each other for control of territory or vital cargo. However, Marvel Rivals places a stronger emphasis on its time travel and multiverse themes, which set the stage for various characters from the different realms of the Marvel Universe to engage in combat.
Marvel Rivals has generated significant excitement following a series of beta tests for players on PC and consoles, which attracted a large number of gamers eager to experience a Marvel hero shooter. As a free-to-play title, Marvel Rivals will also include free content updates and new characters added to the roster, which is expected to expand in the coming months and years—depending on the game’s longevity.
Currently, Marvel Rivals features an impressive roster of 28 characters, with more planned for the future. The playable array includes many beloved heroes, such as Captain America, Spider-Man, The Winter Soldier, Iron Man, the Scarlet Witch, and Storm – alongside some lesser-known characters.
