In an industry where hero shooters are all the rage, Marvel Rivals is carving a niche for itself due to the poor reception of Overwatch 2. Blizzard’s sequel to their hit 2016 release has not gone down well with the fans, resulting in the top position being up for grabs.
NetEase Games’ upcoming title was made available to some gamers during the recent open beta. Since then, they have been speculating what the full game could offer, and some believe it could come for Overwatch’s head.
Marvel Rivals Could Ship with One Mode Intended to Be a Big Draw for Overwatch 2
In its current form, Blizzard’s game is a standard PvP shooter. But this wasn’t always the case, as the studio had planned to develop some PvE content. But a missed opportunity from Blizzard could be exactly what Marvel Rivals needs to cement its foothold.
PVE Ideas?

PvE modes in shooters have become more common now, with the likes of Helldivers 2 and The First Descendant making waves in the industry. Fans have already been theorizing what kind of PvE content could be made for Marvel Rivals, and it seems some have understood this might be the advantage it needs.
One comment on a recent post asking what the game’s subreddit would like to see as PvE content pointed out that such a move would be a slap in the face of Overwatch 2. While they claim the mode won’t be seen any time soon, they say it could function as a horde-based mode.

Others have suggested what the mode could feature, such as taking down the Juggernaut.

Or collecting the Infinity Stones to take down a boss as a team.

The game can take some creative leaps when adding this mode to the game, including adding some cameos of superheroes not included on the roster.
Marvel Rivals is Already Pulling Ahead in the Race
The closing of the open beta has left many fans craving more time with the game. In the short hands-on trial, people have formed a very positive sentiment for the tidal, saying it outdoes Overwatch 2 in many ways, including in the cosmetics it offers players. This may not seem like a big deal, but it’s only one of the many advantages the game has.
The skins will be a big draw not only for gamers but also for comic book aficionados who can play as their favorite versions of their favorite heroes. The developer can create some iconic and classic skins that reference the biggest events in that character’s narrative so far.
While we have not gotten any release window, we continue to get teasers and information regarding the title. One of the most recent is the teaming up of Captain America and Thor, which has led many to speculate that Hulk may also join the duo soon.
