Unfortunately, balance with a game as expressive and chaotic as Marvel Rivals , especially in the hero shooter genre, is a lot easier said than done. Even with its resources, Blizzard couldn't properly balance its groundbreaking hero shooter and, ultimately, retreated back to a launch version of the game with Overwatch 2 Classic . With the roster that the game will boast at launch, and what it will grow into, **Marvel Rivals ** will have an extremely difficult task in keeping itself balanced, but if it manages to do this, then it could see itself standing on top of the hero shooter ge

"The ideology behind our design is to make it fun for people, for the players," Chen added, citing the Marvel brand as something that "allows us to have unique gameplay and really stands us out from the shooting game perspecti

As long as Marvel Rivals receives continual updates from NetEase games, it will largely avoid the issues of Team Fortress 2 , since a lot of its balancing issues can be attributed to negligence from Valve. It also has the budget and creativity behind it to eclipse many other free-to-play hero shooters by default , such as Paladins and Pixel Gun 3D , along with one of the biggest IPs in the world to maintain interest. If the game is as fun as the playtest suggests, Marvel Rivals will kick off, but maintaining popularity will be the hard p

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

It’s impossible to think of the Marvel universe without thinking of Wolverine. Data miners have combed through the Marvel Rivals files and determined that Wolverine might already be on the horizon, but until NetEase makes an announcement, it’s never official. This is why gamers continue to pray that Wolverine makes it onto the ros

Unfortunately, since this announcement appears to have leaked ahead of time, we don't have many details to go off. We have no idea exactly what these collaborations will entail, what's going to be added to Fortnite from them, or when it's going to kick off. It's also worth noting that the image itself no longer appears to be on the Marvel games website, so it's clear the event wasn't ready to be announ

Another hero shooter that has enjoyed prolonged success is Team Fortress 2 , with the series being famous for starting the genre. **TF2 has nine classes, has a relatively small roster for a modern hero shooter, ** and doesn't get much attention at all from Valve, yet it still has some balancing issues. Having a balanced hero shooter experience will help Marvel Rivals shine in a genre known for having poor balance, but that becomes more difficult as the roster gets bigger, and Rivals is starting very big compared to many of its competit

Marvel Rivals already features a list of powerful characters in the tank role, such as Thor, Hulk, Magneto, and Peni Parker. Doctor Doom would no doubt be a formidable addition to the tank/vanguard role. His armor makes him highly durable, allowing him to absorb enormous amounts of damage. His expertise with science and magic gives developers free rein to come up with a devastating kit that could consist of mystical blasts, spell casting, and summon

Recently, via YouTube , **Marvel Rivals has released a content roadmap, revealing what players can expect from the full release on December 6 ** , and there is a lot to enjoy. There are eight maps for both Quick Match and Competitive play, a new Practice Range, a Conquest Map, and thirty-three characters at launch. The closed beta began with an impressive twenty-one characters, with Thor and Jeff the Land Shark being added during the beta to bring the roster to twenty-three characters total, and even this was a big collection of characters for a hero shoo

Chen once again confirmed that NetEase games has full access to Marvel's vast library of characters, including those in the comics, the MCU, and past video games, and he feels this alone is enough to attract players. "We want to show is our specialty. We have the Marvel IP. We are under the Marvel storyline. We have over 85 years of Marvel history, and we have countless heroes and maps," he s
