A new Marvel themed cooperative team shooter is heading to PC, with development being overseen by a NetEase team composed of global talent who previously worked on franchises such as Call of Duty and Battlefield.
Marvel Rivals is based around a new storyline in which a merciless clash between the tyrannical dictator Doctor Doom and his future counterpart from the year 2099 has forced countless universes to collide in the Timestream Entanglement, creating new worlds and crises still unknown.
Now, Super Heroes and Super Villains from across the multiverse must fight together and against one another as disparate groups seek to defeat both Dooms before one achieves domination of these realities.
Confirmed playable characters include Black Panther, Spider-Man, Magneto, and Magik.
