Twitter/X user Miller Ross, who is known for his prior leaks in relation to The Avengers and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, has confirmed new details regarding the NetEase developed Marvel Rivals, including its character roster and gameplay features. He also confirmed that the teaser shared on the official Marvel Games Twitter/X account is related to the unannounced title. As per his information, the game is set to be announced on PC and consoles, and there is currently no confirmation of a mobile release.
Ross mentioned that he’s heard influencers have been paid to do reaction videos of the upcoming reveal trailer for Marvel Rivals, which is set to go live today on March 27, 2024.
Marvel Rivals Alleged Character Roster Revealed
The leaked character roster from NetEase’s unannounced Marvel Rivals can be seen below.
Featured on the character roster are Bruce Banner, The Punisher, Storm, Loki, Doctor Strange, Mantis, Rocket Racoon, Black Panther, Groot, Magik, Luna Snow, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Magneto, Scarlet Witch, Peni Parker, Star-Lord, and Namor. Thor and Moon Knight are among the heroes NetEase plans to add in the future.
Marvel Rivals Gameplay Features Leaked
According to Ross, a key feature of Marvel Rivals is destructible environments. Additionally, he revealed that the game will strictly be played from the third-person perspective. It is entirely PvP focused, and there is no PvE mode. Furthermore, he said that the game is as much of a shooter as Overwatch, in the sense that some characters don’t have ranged options and are purely melee-based. For example, Magik uses her sword and Hulk fights with his fist. The only characters who use guns are ones who use them in the comics, such as Punisher, Star-Lord, and Rocket.
Regarding character-specific plays styles, Ross mentioned that Hulk functions similarly to D.Va from Overwatch. When his health is low, he transforms into Bruce Banner and recharges himself.
