With a little over a month to go before the release of Marvel Rivals, fans of NetEase’s upcoming PvP hero shooter are over the moon with excitement. With the game slated to make an appearance at Paris Games Week, fans of the game are wondering about potential new additions to its expansive roster of Marvel characters while hoping to glean more information about possible changes to existing ones.
With the game’s closed beta garnering a lot of praise for its mechanics and NetEase earning a lot of credit for its comic-accurate take on popular stars from Marvel’s expansive list of heroes and villains, Marvel Rivals is shaping up to be an excellent addition to 2024’s list of new titles.
Momentum Worthy of Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals has certainly had an excellent run-up to its release, with players favoring the title over its competition due to its excellent mechanics, environments, and gameplay loop. Indeed, players have been so enamored with the game that they even began creating concepts for characters they would like to see added to the game’s roster.
While things have remained relatively quiet in the aftermath of Psylocke’s addition to the game’s playable roster, players expect more reveals and announcements about the game at Paris Games Week, with the introduction of one character almost a certainty at this point. Given Psylocke’s unique skill set, many players expect to see Moon Knight make his debut at the event.
A Part of the Journey Is the End
While it has been an exciting few months waiting for Marvel Rivals’ December 2024 release, many players who were fortunate enough to be a part of its closed beta will be glad to put an end to the long wait and dive right into the action with their favorite heroes.
Taking to Reddit to speculate on what they can expect from NetEase’s presence at the Paris Games Week, many players chimed in on possible surprises that the studio has in store for them.
Among the many intriguing responses to the post, one player brings up the possibility of two popular characters from the Marvel universe that would be very interesting additions to the game’s roster considering how their powers often work in tandem throughout their many adventures.
Another player brought up the possibility of a member of the X-Men’s rogue gallery making his presence in Marvel Rivals known to any who may try to stand in his way.
Another astute fan called attention to a new map that was first seen at Gamescom 2024, speculating that it may very well make an appearance at the event alongside the reveal of Moon Knight.
While all will be revealed in the next few days, NetEase is sure to be paying close attention to what its players expect to see at the Paris Games Week and beyond while it gears up for what seems to be a very successful launch for Marvel Rivals.
