Marvel Games and NetEase just announced a new Overwatch-like team shooter called Marvel Rivals. As the name suggests, playable characters will be pulled from throughout the Marvel Multiverse, including members of the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men. Marvel Rivals is a third-person 6v6 team-based shooter. ItΓÇÖll be free to play and it's set inside of a ΓÇ£continually evolving universe.ΓÇ¥ In other words, expect plenty of seasonal updates that introduce new heroes, villains, maps and challenges. As for those heroes and villains, the developers promise a ΓÇ£vast arrayΓÇ¥ of characters to choose from, but that roster will be limited to about a dozen upon the alpha launch in May. Early testers will be able to play as Spider-Man, Black Panther, Magneto, Magik and eight or nine more unannounced characters. The developers did mention that Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Hulk and Iron Man would be playable, but didnΓÇÖt confirm that theyΓÇÖll be available with the alpha. Screenshots show Dr. Strange, Storm and Scarlet Witch, among other heroes. It looks like the creators have access to the entire Marvel roster. ThatΓÇÖs quite literally more than 80,000 potential playable characters. Team-based shooters live or die by their maps. The devs didnΓÇÖt say how many maps would be available when the alpha build hits, but did tease Asgard and Tokyo of 2099. NetEase also suggested that these environments will be destructible, with certain heroes being able to ΓÇ£reshape the terrainΓÇ¥ with their powers. Marvel Games The story involves various Doctor Dooms, multiple timelines and colliding universes. ItΓÇÖs the usual cosmic Marvel tomfoolery. At any rate, itΓÇÖs likely to be better than the Secret Invasion TV show. Again, the alpha will be available in May for PC players. ThereΓÇÖs no word on a console release. This isn't the only big Marvel game announced this week. Former Naughty Dog and Visceral Games writer and creative director Amy Hennig is working on a story-driven action game called Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. You'll be able to play that next year.
