Marvel Rivals was officially announced by NetEase and Marvel Games, with a spectacular trailer which finally reveals the nature of this Overwatch-style action shooter for PC which will aim to involve us in frenetic six-on-six battles.
Revealed in recent days by a leaker, Marvel Rivals will see us assemble a team made up of superheroes and supervillains, and then face other teams within destructible maps inspired by the Marvel universe. The game is currently in the works at a NetEase studio which includes former Call of Duty and Battlefield developers.
“We are thrilled to bring Marvel Rivals to players around the world. We have always loved the Marvel universe and its charactersand we're really excited to be developing this game,” said Marvel Rivals producer Stephen Wu. “This is the project we wanted to make and we feel very lucky to be the team that made this a reality.”

An alpha test is coming
In Marvel Rivals we will be able to choose our characters from a large roster that includes members of the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men and other groups. An alpha test will be available in May that will allow users to try out more than a dozen superheroes and supervillains, such as Black Panther, Spider-Man, Magneto and Magik.
The story behind Marvel Rivals sees the birth of a disturbance in the time flow caused by the clash between Doctor Doom and his counterpart from 2099, which opens gaps that the heroes will have to exploit to try to stop the two villains and prevent them from conquering reality.
