Check out everything we know about Marvel Rivals so far!
An epic cast of characters
“Marvel Rivals” has 37 playable characters at the launch, including consecrated heroes such as Iron Man, Black Panther and Wolverine, as well as villains like Venom and Loki. The game divides the characters into three categories:
- Vanguard: Resistant trades that lead the attacks (Hulk, Thor, Venom);
- Duelist: Damage and direct combat specialists (Spider-Man, Black Widow, Storm);
- Strategist: Healing and area control characters (Loki, Rocket Raccoon, Adam Warlock).
The great differential of “Marvel Rivals” is in Team-Up Skills, skills combined between characters. For example, Hulk may throw Wolverine against enemies, creating a devastating attack.
Competitive game modes
“Marvel Rivals” bets on a wide variety of ways to maintain dynamic experience. Among the main ones are:
- Convoy: one team escorts one vehicle while the other tries to prevent their advance;
- Domination: dispute for control points;
- Convergence: mixture capture of points with escort of objects;
- Conquest: The teams collect points eliminating enemies;
- Doom match: A “knockout” style with 12 players.
The variety of modes and dynamic gameplay promise to keep the game always up to date and challenging.
Destructible and interactive maps
Marvel Rival scenarios are totally destructible, allowing players to change the environment during matches. This means that a building can be overthrown to open a new route or serve as strategic coverage.
Among the maps are Asgard, Tokyo 2099 and Xandar, each bringing unique mechanics and specific challenges.
The story of the game: a battle in the multiverse
Unlike other games of the genre, “Marvel Rivals” brings an engaging plot. The plot revolves around a conflict between two versions of Doctor Destiny, one of them coming from the year 2099. This clash generated a collapse in the multiverse, resulting in the mix of characters from different realities.
This makes room for future expansions and the introduction of new heroes and villains over time.

Strategic and affordable gameplay
Despite the frantic action, “Marvel Rivals” bets on strategy. The choice of the right team can define the result of the match, and some character combinations are essential to success.
In addition, the game does not require players to choose specific functions (such as tank or support), allowing greater freedom to set up creative teams.
Many compare “Marvel Rivals” with “overwatch” due to the shape of unique teams and skills. However, the game differs by synergy mechanics between characters and destructible scenarios, offering a more dynamic and innovative experience.
Promising future and constant updates
Marvel has already confirmed that “Marvel Rivals” will receive frequent updates, including new characters, maps and seasonal events inspired by comics. This ensures that the game continues to evolve and keep the community engaged.
With innovative gameplay, iconic and strategic mechanical characters, Marvel Rivals has won a good fan base and is getting more and more present in the competitive scenario. If you are a fan of Marvel or competitive games, this title certainly deserves your attention.
