Five new heroes joining Marvel Rivals will be unveiled this week. A new hero will be fully revealed each day leading up to the launch. The heroes include Squirrel Girl, Black Widow, Cloak & Dagger, Iron Fist and Wolverine. The cast of characters continues to grow and expand, giving plenty of options for players to choose from when they dive into the game.
What Is Marvel Rivals About?
The merciless clash between tyrannical dictator Doctor Doom and his future counterpart from the year 2099 has forced countless universes to collide in the Timestream Entanglement, creating new worlds and crises unknown in Marvel Rivals.
Heroes and Villains from across the multiverse must fight together and against one another as disparate groups, each seeking to best both Dooms before one achieves domination of these realities. Familiar faces become newfound foes, while former enemies become the greatest of allies in Marvel Rivals!
Arrival of Galactic Tunes
The launch trailer features renowned rock vocalist Chrissy Costanza, performing the theme song “Rivals ‘Til the End.” Best known as the powerhouse frontwoman of the band Against The Current and for her iconic gaming anthems like “Legends Never Die” and “Phoenix,” Chrissy’s career seamlessly bridges the worlds of gaming and music.
The official video game soundtrack for Marvel Rivals, Galactic Tunes, launches on streaming platforms on December 6. Limited vinyl is now available for pre-order on Mutant.
About Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface Map
The awakening Knull has cast a shadow over the Panther God Bast. In response, Shuri sends the Guardians of the Galaxy to Klyntar to seek out a solution to this looming threat. After the Milano crashes on Klyntar, the Guardians bump into Venom.
The two sides have different opinions on how to defeat Knull: Venom, having extracted the Knull Essence from a controlled symbiote, argues for caution due to its volatile nature and the risk of harming the planet’s symbiotes. With Knull still dormant, Venom prefers to wait until they can harness this power safely.
On the other hand, the Guardians, tasked by Shuri, are eager to immediately neutralize Knull’s influence over the gods including Bast. At an impasse, they decide to go their separate ways.
The Marvel Rivals and Marvel Games team will conduct a special community AMA on the official Discord on December 4 at 7 PM PST. Fans will be able to ask questions, meet the team, and get all the latest updates.
The highly-anticipated game launches December 6 0:00 UTC, with all heroes unlocked and free to play at launch and beyond. Players will be able to pre-load the game on Steam beginning December 4 0:00 UTC.
