Play as mightiest heroes (and villains)

In the team-based shooter Marvel Rivals, heroes and villains from across the Marvel multiverse team up to prevent crises sparked by a merciless clash between tyrannical dictator Doctor Doom and his future counterpart from the year 2099.

With new worlds and crises created, disparate groups each seek to best both Dooms before one achieves domination of these realities. Playable characters include those from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and X-Men among others. Examples include Black Panther, Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Venom, Hela, and Iron Man.

A key mechanic in Marvel Rivals is the Team-Up Skill – an ability where players can co-ordinate combinations with each other. This unleashes a synergised attacks providing new tactics that can turn the tide of combat. For example, Rocket Raccoon can ride on Groot’s back, and Hulk can unleash Gamma energy to charge Iron Man’s armour.

Players can tear through iconic Marvel worlds across destructible environments. From Asgard to the Tokyo of 2099, use superpowers to alter environments, reshape the terrain, and craft a strategic advantage on the battlefield. Take cover to dodge attacks or use makeshift weapons to strike down enemies.

Each seasonal drop will introduce new characters to the battlefield along with challenging and diverse maps.
