“Too much potential”: Marvel Rivals Fans Think One Character and His Trusty Sidekick Could Be the Perfect Fit for the Roster
An important character could be the perfect addition to NetEase's Marvel Rivals, considering his ties to the Avengers and extensive abilities.
- With Marvel Rivals adding Captain America and the Winter Soldier to its roster, fans wonder if The Falcon could be making an appearance.
- Sam Wilson would be a great fit to the game, bringing unique synergies with the Avengers that players can make use of.
- NetEase is sure to be listening in the run-up to Marvel Rivals' December 2024 release.
With Marvel Rivals a little over three months away from its release date, fans of NetEase’s third-person hero shooter continue to eagerly speculate about potential additions to its roster in the aftermath of its explosive announcement at Gamescom 2024.
With a very successful closed beta for the game under its belt, NetEase is sure to be busy fine-tuning the game for its release while continuing to create content for it that can help the studio create a title that can withstand the test of time while leaving its competitors far behind in terms of its player count and the amount of creative flourishes on display.
A Hero Shooter That Hinges on Its Heroes
One of Marvel Rivals’ biggest strengths has been NetEase’s ability to embellish the source material from which it draws inspiration with creative touches that have endeared many of the heroes in its roster to fans of the popular characters. With its take on Jeff the Land Shark being an excellent example, every hero the studio adds to the game leaves its fans wondering what it could do next.
With the addition of two characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe being announced at Gamescom 2024, fans of the game expect the addition of a third new hero to round out the trio they formed in the movies with a potential twist that could fit very well in the game’s well-tuned combat mechanics.
Could Falcon Join His Fellow Soldiers in Battle?
The Falcon would be a great addition to the game considering his connections to Captain America and the Winter Soldier in the films. With the two super soldiers already confirmed for Marvel Rivals, The Falcon and his assistant Redwing could very well join them in battle if NetEase is paying attention to what its fans are looking forward to.
The Reddit post below showcases how players think that The Falcon, a.k.a. Sam Wilson, could be a valuable addition to any team in Marvel Rivals, although fans of the character are hoping for a version that’s closer to his comic book roots in lieu of the character’s appearance made popular by Anthony Mackie in the films.
Responses from other players indicate his utility as a strategic addition to any team and highlight potential synergies with teammates belonging to the Avengers, which could be a great way for fans of the superhero team to recreate their heroics on the battlefield in Marvel Rivals.
Other players strongly believe that Falcon’s range of abilites could make him a fine addition to the game’s final roster of playable characters.
NetEase Games is sure to be playing close attention to conversations like this in order to plan out a roadmap for Marvel Rivals to retain the strong player base it has managed to accrue while looking to one-up its competition through meaningful additions to the game over time.
