Marvel Rivals Is An Overwatch-Like 6v6 Shooter For PC, And Testing Starts Soon

You’ll be able to throw down as Earth’s mightiest heroes, and villains, in a free-to-play team-based competitive shooter coming soon. Marvel Rivals, from developer NetEase, will start rolling out in the form of an alpha test in May, with further tests coming in the lead-up to launch.

Marvel Rivals features a roster of more than a dozen playable characters from famous comic book teams like the Avengers, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy. The alpha test will feature an array of heroes and villains to play, including Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Magik. The debut trailer showed lots of other characters, like Dr. Strange and Luna Snow, making use of their powers–like Strange opening up portals for his teammates. It all looks very similar to Blizzard’s Overwatch, albeit in third-person and with a roster of classic comic characters. For the full roster, you can check out our feature on every Marvel Rivals character revealed so far.

In true comic-book fashion, you can use dynamic “Team-Up Skills” to combine the powers of two heroes into a devastating attack. Rocket Raccoon can be seen riding on Groot’s back while firing, and Hulk can provide some gamma energy to give Iron Man’s repulsor blast some extra oomph. Matches in Marvel Rivals will be third-person, 6v6 battles with destructible environments like Asgard and Tokyo 2099.
