What is Marvel Rivals? Gameplay explained for new free PC game
27.03.2024 - 15:49 / radiotimes.com
NetEase Games has announced a new PC game called Marvel Rivals, with an eye-catching first trailer (see above) showcasing heaps of fan-favourite characters including Spider-Man, Loki, Doctor Strange and Iron Man.
«Marvel Rivals is one of our most ambitious game development projects,» said Jay Ong, head of Marvel Games, in the official announcement.
Ong continued: «Since the conceptualisation of the game and throughout our collaboration, our Marvel team has poured our hearts and souls into this project, and we are thrilled to work with the incredible team at NetEase Games».
But what actually is Marvel Rivals? And when can you expect to start playing it? Keep on reading to find out.
Basically, Marvel Rivals is a multiplayer game for PC that will have a 6v6 format, meaning that two teams of six players will be duking it out in each match.
This will be a free-to-play game that features heroes and villains from the Marvel universe. You'll have to co-operate with your teammates if you want to overcome your opponents, which should make for some fun match-ups.
We're feeling slight Apex Legends, Overwatch or League of Legends vibes with this one, with the added fun that all of the playable characters are famous faces from the wide roster of Marvel Comics characters.
Beyond the basic description that it's a 6v6 multiplayer game, one thing we know about Marvel Rivals gameplay is that it will have destructible environments.
The press bumf teases: «From Asgard to the Tokyo of 2099, [players can] use superpowers to alter these environments, reshape the terrain, and craft a strategic advantage on the battlefield.»
Another key aspect will be the synergy between your heroes. Two examples were provided ahead of time: «Ride on Groot’s back as Rocket Raccoon to take on your enemies as a dangerous duo, unleash Gamma energy as Hulk to charge Iron Man’s armour for massive damage, and so much more!»
Basically, two teams of six characters will be fighting in each match, but different combinations of powers and the varied approaches to each environment should help to keep things fresh.
NetEase has also confirmed that this will be a live-service game, with the company hoping to deliver multiple seasons by the sounds of it.
NetEase said: «Each seasonal drop will introduce new Super Heroes to the battlefield along with challenging and diverse maps! Unlock new content to implement across various gameplay strategies while experiencing thrilling action and endless possibilities in these adventurous team battles!»

I've not played Hellgate: London, but I'm sure I must've passed it on the shelves in Gamestation (I'll never forget you, friend) way back when. Apparently, the original was a dark fantasy action RPG with roguelike elements and MMO subscription models before developer Flagship Studios shut down. Then it was re-released a bunch of times, with London giving way to Tokyo in one expansion.
