Marvel is silently but constantly making several new games based on its characters, projects like Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, Marvel’s Iron Man, Marvel’s Black Panther, Marvel’s Blade, and various more. NetEase is working on a multiplayer experience called Marvel Rivals that could be announced very soon.
Various insiders are talking about how this title is very similar to games like Overwatch. Rumors are talking about exclusive skins and a possible free-to-play model; there is not even an image of this game; it will be on PC and consoles.
Marvel Rivals could be very similar to Overwatch, according to insiders
The fans of the MCU and Marvel should be very excited about all the upcoming games that will be coming out in the next few years. Following the massive failure of Marvel’s Avengers for both players and fans, these upcoming titles have the potential to transform perceptions.
Marvel Rivals could be the next Marvel title, if reports are to be believed. This title will be a third-person shooter with mechanics very similar to Overwatch, with a lot of characters to choose from.
Popular insider X account Kurakasis has confirmed that Marvel Rivals will be very similar to Overwatch and will be available on PC and consoles; there are no details about a mobile version. The Overwatch mode will not be the only thing that Marvel Rivals will have.
I've received some new details about Marvel Rivals:

There is also a Hybrid mode like in Overwatch
The majority of people who contacted me have heard about the console version (in addition to PC), but no one mentioned the game coming to mobile
There is a Spider-Punk skin
There will be great interactions between characters, for example, Groot and Rocket. Three types of characters will be in the game: damage, healer, and tank, very much like a MOBA. Kurakasis also confirmed different skins for the characters, like the Spider-Punk skin.
Marvel Rivals could bring fans back to games
There is practically no information about Marvel Rivals; this includes not knowing the number of characters, whether it is paid or free-to-play, or even what kind of graphic engine it has. Players are very curious about the project, talking about a possible comeback for Marvel. This live-service title could have similarities with games like Pokémon Unite or something in the MOBA universe; it is a third-person shooter, according to rumors.
The other very impressive Marvel project is Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, which released a story trailer last week with a spectacular presentation of the Unreal Engine 5 with amazing face models and environments. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will have four playable characters and will be an entirely single-player experience with a linear story, making fans very happy with this decision. This title is set to release sometime in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.
What are your thoughts about the upcoming Marvel Rivals? Would you like to play Marvel Overwatch?
