In the meantime, however, I am hoping that with not one but two Dr. Dooms in Marvel Rivals , the game can show more mainstream audiences that may only be familiar with the movies and may still be discovering the wider Marvel Universe in other media can see just how impressive of a character he can be. The SDCC trailer already showed Doombots swarming the heroes, and the fact Doom is clashing with a future counterpart indicates that the character's intellect and scientific nature is definitely going to feature in the game's story, and he can be seen wielding magic atop his castle in Latveria in the trailer's closing moments, suggesting that his sorcerer abilities and monarch status will be present as well .

Marvel Rivals has a line-up of 23 playable characters from the Marvel Universe. The third-person shooter features many fan-favorite characters from superhero teams like The Avengers and The Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as more unfamiliar fa

Likewise, his Micro-Missile Barrage cannot be aimed at specific enemies, but it sends out a random barrage in the direction Iron Man is facing . This makes it very useful in crowded situations but less useful against single opponents. Iron Man will want to be a little closer to the main action of using this one, but you can use your Hyper-Velocity to swoop in, unleash it, and continue without stopp

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

It is a single-charged shot that does a large amount of damage in an AOE effect . This can cause a devastating blow to your opponent’s team and is a simpler ultimate to wrap your head around. Overall, Iron Man is a fairly easy hero to understand, but one that can do much damage and constantly harass your enemi

P unisher and Hela are also Iron Man’s main counters in Marvel Rivals . Punisher is a good counter because of his ranged DPS abilities, allowing him to deal massive damage faster. He also has grenades and can generate turrets. Likewise, Hela can also take down enemies at range with her knife-throwing skills. She also can fly herself by using her shapeshifting abilities . This makes her a threat to Iron Man, and you should be wary of both charact

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

Iron Man has the usual roster of abilities, mainly focusing on his blasters and flying capability . He is one of the heroes who can stay in the air for most of the game , and his blasters can be long or short-ran

I completely expected Thor to appear at some point as a playable hero regardless of the leaks, simply because Loki is already in the game, and the God of Thunder has been used in so much current Marvel media due to his increase in popularity with mainstream audiences over the years - most likely due to his portrayal by Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - that his omission would feel jarring. The character I was more excited to see, however, was Dr. Doom . Doom was announced in the press release that accompanied Marvel Rivals collectibles Rivals ' first trailer, and it was clear he would play a major part in the story, but this is the first we have seen of the character and his future variant.

Marvel Rivals ** has revealed a new cinematic trailer at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, further exploring the main storyline of Marvel Games and NetEase Games' third-person hero shooter. It's been known since the original announcement of the game that Marvel Rivals would essentially be a multiversal story, with new worlds and Spider-Variants such as Peter and Peni Parker fighting side-by-side in the game's various arenas. However, the new trailer provided more context into why the heroes are at odds, providing a proper look at the game's main villain, Dr. Doom** , as well as Thor, a playable character who had been leaked before but wasn't featured in the Closed Alpha playtest.
