Which Marvel characters would you like to see in the new game, Marvel Rivals? According to multiple leaks, it seems that another Marvel game is currently in the works. This time, it will be an online shooter resembling Valorant. The Chinese publisher NetEase Games, known for their previous mobile games such as Marvel Super War and Marvel Duel, is now taking on a more complex project using the Marvel license for a PC title.
Titled Marvel Rivals, this new game is said to be a 6v6 third-person shooter with elements similar to Overwatch and a visual style inspired by Valorant. Despite the rumors of a first-person shooter, it has been confirmed by reliable leaker Kurakasis that the game will be in third-person view. The website TheStreamr also revealed that the game will have a PC release, with no information about console or mobile versions.
So what can we expect from Marvel Rivals? The game will feature a mode called Escort, where players must guide a convoy to a specific location, and a King Of The Hill mode, where points are earned by controlling a designated area. TheStreamr also mentioned two maps, one called Odin's Vault and the other based on a real-life city that is not New York. All of these details suggest a diverse range of characters, but it still leaves us wondering how they will fit into a third-person shooter. Will we see characters like Thor wielding guns?
This also brings to mind the criticism received by the third-person shooter game Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, where three out of the four playable characters rarely use guns in the comics. However, Marvel video games have not had much success in the past, with only Spider-Man standing out as a hit. Yet, this has not stopped publishers from continuing to pursue the license, with several upcoming titles such as Marvel's Wolverine from Sony, Marvel's Blade from Xbox, and untitled games featuring Iron Man, Black Panther, and a new game from the creator of Uncharted.
UPDATE: A new article from @The_Streamr website has revealed more details about Marvel Rivals, including the fact that it will be a third-person shooter instead of a first-person shooter, and it will have a polygonal art style similar to Valorant. The game is currently in pre-alpha and will have a PC release, with no information about mobile or console versions.

In conclusion, it seems like Marvel Rivals has a lot of potential, but with the previous failures of Marvel games, fans are understandably cautious. Only time will tell if this game will be a success, but with the exciting lineup of characters and gameplay modes, it certainly has the potential to be a hit. Let's hope that the developers can do justice to the beloved Marvel universe and deliver a game that will satisfy both fans and gamers alike.
