With the Marvel universe as a setting, as well as **a hint of multiverses with both a Spiderverse map and two Doctor Dooms from different timelines ** , there is a wealth of characters that are yet to be announced to the roster. It will likely continue to swell as time goes on, and if the game does as well as many think it will, becoming not only a rival to Overwatch but its usurper, a League of Legends -sized roster might not be too far off. There are enough Marvel characters to do this, from the famous to the obsc
Everyone loves feeling like the main character, getting a quad-kill, and seeing their name pop up at the top left of the screen. It is understandable, then, why everyone wants to play a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, especially when some of the IP's most beloved heroes (Iron Man, Spider-Man) are in that class. But this game is balanced around a 2/2/2 split, so the matches in which you get rolled over due to having three or four Duelists on your team feel terrible to p
Marvel Rivals characters are split into the roles of Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist. Characters are placed into these roles based on where their abilities and build will fit best. Some tend to stretch the lore a bit, but overall, it fits well enough to avoid any major complaints. Marvel Rivals is also avoiding a major annoyance by making all characters free to unlock through natural progressi

The key to a successful hero shooter is balance. Making a mechanically sound game is great, but if your characters aren’t balanced, it’s probably not going to do too well. Marvel Rivals is no different, something the team is well aware
In-house testing isn’t the only way the Marvel Rivals team is dealing with data, though. Chen mentions recent betas "received like 100,000 pieces of feedback from players," something the team "will carefully consider to see whether they can help us to improve our ga
Concord will forever be regarded as one of gaming's biggest-ever failures. A reported toxic work environment saw the game fail to attract any kind of audience , leading to it closing down after two weeks and its director leaving Firewalk Studi
Those playing with Black Panther must be mindful that he is at a disadvantage against ranged heroes in Marvel Rivals . Close combat is your main fighting strategy. Always engage Spear Toss from a range while Vibranium Mark is attached to your foes, as mentioned in the combos.

"Our plan, when we got the IP, was to make this game from the beginning. It has always been quite firm. We are making a 6v6 superhero team-building game. We are making a PvP game; a story mode is not included in our plan or roadmap," he says. The reason for this?

Black Panther is a top-tier character in Marvel Rivals Guide Rivals . As a Duelist with a complex and skilled fighting style , he is one of the few challenging DPS options in the game. Players are obliged to use every aspect of his roster to get the best potential out of him in the arena, making him fairly tricky but rewarding to use in com
Competitive games have a tendency to become stale. MOBAs like LoL get considerable meta shifts every few months, although that comes with its own set of problems. Adding new characters works too, but brings with it another host of issues. Marvel Rivals opted for the Season Bonus system, which isn't a good direction to fol
**Marvel Rivals boasts an impressive roster of heroes ** , but there are some that still must be added post-launch. Along with the 25 characters confirmed for launch, another 15 were leaked back in May. These 15 are likely to be added as well due to the list containing characters who made the initial roster. However, with a franchise as rich with superheroes and villains as Marvel , there is still plenty left to incl
