Marvel Rivals is an upcoming free-to-play, team-based PVP shooter for PC with the backing of Chinese publishing giant NetEase.
Described as a “thrilling, fast-paced, cooperative gameplay experience”, Marvel Rivals pits teams of six against each other as they fight it out over a variety of destructible environments with characters from across the Marvel universe. Head of Marvel Games Jay Ong said Marvel Rivals is one of the team’s “most ambitious game development projects”, and one the developer has “poured [its] heart and soul into”.
Marvel Rivals finally releases in full on 6th December 2024.
NetEase was forced to apologise earlier this year when players and content creators hit back at Marvel Rivals for a playtest terms of service contract that prohibited players from making “statements that are detrimental to the reputation of the game”.
In a statement posted in Discord shortly after the contract began to make headlines, the Marvel Rivals Content Creator Team said it “sincerely apologised” for the “miscommunication and your unpleasant experiences”.
