Look out, Overwatch 2, Marvel Rivals might just steal your audience

Overwatch 2? What Overwatch 2? I think you’re looking for Marvel Rivals, the upcoming free-to-play hero shooter.

Marvel and NetEase have just revealed the first trailer for Marvel Rivals, a game that is so obviously just meant to be Overwatch but with your favourite comic book characters instead. Much like how Overwatch used to work, Marvel Rivals is a team-based, 6v6 shooter, described as having “thrilling, fast-paced, cooperative gameplay,” with a “deep” roster – that includes your classic like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Hulk, as well as newer characters like Peni Parker and Magik.
