Rumor: A Marvel FPS Could Be in Development
25.03.2024 - 07:29 / gamerant.com
A new Marvel game could be in development, according to the latest rumors surfacing online. Currently, Marvelis licensing five games, including Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, which may release sometime in 2025. This new game would mark five games under Marvel's wing with no set release date, joining the ranks with the untitled Iron Man and Black Panther games,Marvel'sWolverine, and Marvel's Blade.
The Marvel Gamesdivision was founded in 2009, but the earliest traces of its catalog trace back to 1982, with the release of Spider-Man on the Atari 2600. Over four decades later, Marvel Games released multiple successful AAA titles, while mobile games like Marvel Snap continue to provide gamers with non-stop content in the palms of their hands.
In a social media post from Kurakasis, an announcement is expected in 2024 to make everything official. The game's title is rumored to be Marvel Rivals and it will allegedly be a AAA first-person shooter that takes place in the Marvel Universe.

With its hand in prior mobile Marvel games, it wasn't long before the pieces were put together.
A first-person shooter introduced in the Marvel Universe could be a refreshing twist on what fans have grown used to with past releases. While Spider Man 2 was a blockbuster success, it's encouraging to see some risks being taken to offer gaming fans a different approach. However, like most rumors circulating online, it's best to take the information with a grain of salt until concrete evidence is unveiled with an announcement from NetEase.
First-person shooters also come with the possibility of microtransactions, which is something NetEase isn't unfamiliar with. Both Marvel Super War and Marvel Snap are mobile games with the option to purchase extra content through their microtransaction system, and first-person shooters are known to have the same. While a Marvel game with a new genre may be appealing to many, some expect Marvel Rivals to fall into the same rabbit hole as Fortnite, a fun, battle royale game with a substantial market that lures in players looking to get the upper hand or buy the new aesthetic of the week.
Unlike the many planned releases of 2025 and beyond, Marvel doesn't have more to offer than its single-player action games, leading some gamers to look for something different. Should Marvel Rivals come to fruition, it would break from the status quo and represent a new chapter in Marvel's gaming universe. Marvel has released its fair share of
