What to expect from Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals is a third-person shooter and multiplayer game. You form a game with a team of six players, and each player then selects a hero from the Marvel Comics universe. Only one person per team can play as a single hero, so you won't be able to play a game full of Spider-Mans (at least not at launch).
Heroes fit into one of three roles:
When your team and heroes attack, you'll be tasked with one of several different targeting modes, such as: B. capturing a point on several different maps or escorting a chariot. In Quick Play Queue, each team only plays one side and the winner is determined based on whether the offensive or defensive side wins. But in Competitive Queue, games consist of multiple rounds of one objective, and the winner is determined based on who wins the most rounds.
If you are familiar with Blizzards Overwatch and other hero shooters should feel pretty similar to Marvel Rivals. But the familiar Marvel heroes (all of which have fairly unique visual designs) and third-person perspective give the game a fresh feel, so you're not guaranteed to love it or hate it based on your feelings about other games in the genre.
Marvel Rivals is also based on a seasonal model. At launch, Season 0, “Doom’s Rise,” will last about a month. Season 1 starts in early January 2025, runs for three months and will add new maps, heroes and abilities.
