Marvel Rivals will see players battling with and against each other while playing as a variety of different Marvel heroes and villains, but given its nature as a 6v6 hero shooter, the arenas that you’ll be fighting in are going to be just as crucial as the characters you’ll be playing as.
After introducing a new location form the game in the form of Yggsgard earlier this month, developer NetEase Games has now unveiled another new map- Tokyo 2099.
