Marvel has unveiled their new Marvel Rivals game, a free to play PVP shooter.
The game will be a free-to-play PvP shooter in which two teams of six players compete against each other. “Rally your favorite Marvel characters and compete in 6v6 battles, using all-new Team-Up Skills in destructible locations from across the Marvel Universe,” the description reads.
These Team-Up abilities allow heroes to perform moves together. For example, Rocket Raccoon can ride around on Groot’s back. Players can choose from a wide selection of heroes and villains from well-known groups such as the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men and many more.
Marvel also promises that the game will continue to evolve. “New superheroes are introduced every season, along with challenging and diverse maps. Unlock new content to use in different strategies and experience thrilling action and endless possibilities in these adventurous team battles.”
Marvel immediately released a trailer with a lot of gameplay. The images shown are reminiscent of Overwatch, where two teams of Marvel heroes with different roles fight against each other.
Marvel Rivals is being developed with the help of Chinese publisher NetEase. An exact release date is not known, but we do know that the closed alpha test will be held in May on PC, via Steam and the Epic Games Store. No other platforms have been mentioned for the game yet.
