Today, dozens of hero shooters in the gaming sphere strive to create memorable characters, but it's a struggle to even gain a fraction of the passion that people feel for the playable characters in Marvel Rivals . The game's cast already has engaging backstories and storylines tied to each one, which immediately helps players feel tied to the characters they are playing. Beloved cast members are nothing unique to hero shooters, but how Marvel Rivals characters work together

These recent comments come from activist investor Nelson Peltz, as reported by Variety , who has had some conflict with Disney CEO Bob Iger in the past. Following some statements about Black Panther and The Marvels , which misrepresented the films themselves, Peltz was asked about his thoughts on Kevin Feige. Peltz's comments on Marvel and Feige can be seen be

The usual fixings of a modern free-to-play team shooter populate Marvel Rivals , giving out loads of player tags, sprays, emotes, and skins to unlock by completing themed challenges or leveling up the battle pass. During the closed beta, in-game currency was earned at a generous rate, giving players enough credits to unlock skins after playing around a half dozen matches, which is hopefully not something that gets more difficult to earn without spending money after Marvel Rivals officially relea

Making his debut in the Hulk comics , Wolverine has always had it out for Marvel's resident emerald rage machine. First fighting in The Incredible Hulk #181, the two were still less than friends when Wolverine switched sides and became a h

Initially, **Marvel Rivals was only confirmed for PC, but it was officially announced for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S ** during the May 2024 State of Play broadcast . So what seemed like a missed opportunity for the game is now completely avoided since it will be coming to consoles. Nowadays, excluding large portions of potential players has become a high price for games, especially when trying to compete with other popular titles. Some big titles, like Valorant, CSGO 2, and Helldivers 2 , have been able to overcome not releasing only on certain platforms, but those are outliers rather than the stand

Nelson Peltz, an investor interested in winning some board seats at Disney, recently called Kevin Feige's ability to run the MCU into question. These comments come after the recent box office disappointment of The Marvels , and a largely disappointing 2023 for Marvel Studios and its parent company Disney. While there are some concerns that can be raised about the current state of the MCU, it is also worth noting that these statements come from an ally of the controversial ex-Marvel executive, Ike Perlmutt

While the Marvel Rivals closed beta includes excellent character models and engaging scenery, its use of the Unreal 5 engine takes things up a notch by allowing stage destruction. This helps gameplay feel like an evolution of the hero shooter genre, which has become oversaturated with multiplayer experiences filled with cool and adorable characters fighting to take control of a specific location. While Marvel Rivals does that too, it does it in ways that will be tough for other games to ma

The MCU has been facing some issues lately; 2023 saw two major box office disappointments in the form of The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania . Quantumania is also now the lowest-ranked MCU movie according to critics on Rotten Tomatoes . The Disney+ series, Secret Invasion , also earned a very low Rotten Tomatoes score and drew criticism for its use of AI. On top of this, Jonathan Majors, who was set up as Marvel Rivals money Guide's new main villain, was convicted of assault and harassment and subsequently fired from the

Marvel Rivals having crossplay would be a huge boost for the game. At worst, it is doing the bare minimum of what the majority of players expect from AAA games nowadays. However, if done well, it can be an amazing bridge across the community and prove to be a pillar for the game. As enjoyable as the game needs to be, a supporting and engaging community is one of the important aspects of longevi

It's worth noting that The Marvels does include characters like Nick Fury who aren't women, and both Black Panther movies don't have all-Black casts as Peltz claims. Regardless, it is clear Peltz does not support the creative decisions being made by Feige and Mar

Why do I have to have a Marvel [movie] that’s all women?" Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that? Why can’t I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-Black cast?... I’m not ready to say [Kevin Feige should be removed as president of Marvel Studios], but I question his rec

Another option is Marvel Rivals releases first on PC, with a confirmed but later release for consoles. Though improving, multi-platform development has been known to cause issues when trying to develop a game for both sides. Usually this is technical, but this can also come in the forming of cheating or attempting to block unfair third-party peripherals on console. Regardless of why, this would give the team the extra time to polish console versions while lessening the blow when compared to delaying the game entirely. With a joint beta test happening at the same time, however, it's likely it will release simultaneously later this y
