Stand back everyone, some heroes are coming through. Marvel Rivals is barreling its way into 2024 with a stacked superhero roster full of world-saving icons and heinous villains. We won’t pick sides yet though, instead, we’re going to tell you the Marvel Rivals release date to get you pumped.
The MCU has catapulted the Marvel universe to heights never thought possible. The fictional world was already ridiculously popular thanks to decades of compelling, Stan Lee-created comics, characters, and capers; but year’s worth of superhero films and billions in profits is the tip of the iceberg.
What better way to capitalize on the marvel (pun intended) of superheroes than by launching a full hero shooter featuring the best the fictitious world has to offer?
When is the Marvel Rivals Release Date?
The Marvel Rivals release date is Dec. 6, and it seems like it will be a midnight regional rollout—unless we hear otherwise. The release date applies to all available platforms too including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Despite the infamous Marvel Rivals money laundering controversy, nothing seems like it can stop Rivals’ momentum. The summer saw some very positive Alpha and Beta testing, with thousands of players getting involved, and NetEase responding to feedback encouragingly.
With a hefty roadmap of content and leaks already in the pipeline, the Marvel Rivals release date and launch are only the beginning of (presumably) more success.
What is Marvel Rivals?
Marvel Rivals is a third-person, online multiplayer shooter featuring characters from the Marvel Universe.
Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Rocket Raccoon, Venom, and The Punisher are some of the pickable heroes in Marvel Rivals, with many more to come. All heroes are going to be free—avoiding the ugly strategy of paywalls—and it’s set to be an all-encompassing shooter.
The title also takes inspiration from modern-day contemporaries such as Overwatch by having players team up into two separate squads comprised of various roles from Offensive heroes to all-out Support superstars. Marvel Rivals also learns from other shooters in the market by making the entire experience free-to-play. If you want, you don’t have to contribute even a single cent or pence toward the shooter.
