Where Marvel Rivals begins: a video from the developers

The release of NetEase's online superhero shooter is just a little while away - it's scheduled for December 6. To prepare the public for this event, the staff of the publisher's internal studio released a video Dev Vision Vol. 1, where they talked about how the project will start and what fans of the Marvel universe will get from it. They also summarized the results of the recently completed beta testing, the results of which will affect the final quality of the game.

As you probably already know, the game is a team-based action game with an emphasis on PvP. Gamers have to choose their own superheroes, then unite into a squad of six members and take on the map against the exact same group of opponents. There's the full Avengers to choose from, as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men including Wolverine, and major comic book stars like the Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Dr. Strange. NetEase employees promise to present at the launch 33 characters with unique skills. For example, the same Hulk has the "Incredible Jump".

Users will start with a set of eight locations for the competitive mode and one - for matches of the format "Conquest". The training ground will help to master the game. In December, a trial season will be launched, which is called the zero season and will be dedicated to the adventures of Dr. Doom. And the first full season will begin in 2025. As the developers promise, there will be no pay-to-win mechanics in the game. All bonuses can be earned only in the framework of battle pass tasks.
