A synopsis of Marvel Rivals reads:
In Marvel Rivals, players can look forward to choosing heroes split into three distinct roles based on their unique power inclinations: Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist. They’ll be free to pick their preferred role and hero, teaming up with allies to create a versatile and dynamic lineup for battle. But that’s not all, as they’ll be able to reach a whole new level of team play collaboration with Team-Up Abilities, unleashing joint superpowers with their allies, tearing down the battlefield to win in exciting fights! Marvel Rivals is in development by a NetEase team composed of global talent that share a profound love for the Marvel universe and characters who previously worked on hit shooter franchises played by millions of players worldwide.
Marvel Rivals recently had closed beta tests, which found the developers banning 190 players worldwide for using cheats. Marvel Rivals will be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store).
