A huge Marvel Rivals leak has potentially revealed 20 new characters for the hero-shooter's roster, in addition to five new maps that could be on the way for the game. Marvel Rivals is a new hero-shooter game that's clearly inspired by Blizzard's Overwatch. An official release date for Marvel Rivals has yet to be revealed, but some lucky Marvel fans will have the chance to play it as early as this weekend.
The Marvel Rivals Alpha Test takes place from May 10 to May 20, and will give players the chance to try the game out using a curated selection of heroes across two maps. If Marvel Rivals is a success, the developers will no doubt flesh out the roster of heroes with characters from the gigantic Marvel universe. No announcements have been made in an official capacity, but a fresh datamine has potentially revealed 20 new characters that are on the way.
According to the leak by Miller Ross on Twitter, there is data in Marvel Rivals that points to Adam Warlock, Black Widow, Blade, Captain America, Cloak & Dagger, Jeff the Landshark, Hawkeye, Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Iron Fist (Lin Lie), Moon Knight, Mr. Fantastic, Psylocke, Squirrel Girl, The Thing, Thor, Ultron, Venom, Winter Soldier, and Wolverine being in the works for Marvel Rivals. Their dataming efforts have also leaked five new Marvel Rivals maps: Hydra Erebus Base, The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, Klyntar, Empire of Eternal Night, and Krakoa.
If the leak is accurate, the Marvel Rivals roster will potentially balloon to 39 heroes. This is just one hero shy of the number of heroes Overwatch 2 has eight years after the original game came out, so it's likely these heroes will be added over the course of years. So far, Marvel Rivals only has 19 heroes confirmed in an official capacity, though the leaked roster includes some obvious inclusions like Captain America, Thor, and Wolverine.
Whether Marvel Rivals lasts enough to see all these heroes added to the lineup remains to be seen. There is certainly room for an Overwatch competitor, but time will tell how Marvel Rivals is received by the community. If the game's PC Alpha Test is a hit, hopefully it doesn't take too long to see Marvel Rivals get its official launch. It's also been suggested that Marvel Rivals could be coming to consoles, so fans should keep an eye out for more information on that front.
