Against the backdrop of these scenery and will unfold the battles of teams of six participants, reminiscent of matches from Overwatch. Characters will be able to support each other with unique skills - for example, Rocket the raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy jumps on Groot's shoulder and fires from there, Hulk charges Iron Man's armor with gamma rays, and Strange opens portals to quickly move his friends around the map.
