6v6 Hero Shooter Marvel Rivals Officially Announced, But There’s No Mention of PS5

As was heavily rumoured, the new Marvel game is indeed a six-on-six, team-based, hero-based multiplayer shooter. It’s called Marvel Rivals, and it’s built around each character having their own unique abilities. You’ve got the Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Black Panther… It looks to be quite a robust roster.

There’s just one problem: Marvel Rivals hasn’t been confirmed for consoles, including PS5. Right now, it’s PC-only, with an alpha test dropping in May. We would assume that it’ll eventually be brought to other platforms once the project’s closer to completion, but there are obviously no guarantees.

And yes, it’s being developed by colossal Chinese entity NetEase Games, which is already promising a “continually evolving universe” through “robust post-launch updates”.

If the gameplay’s a hit, we could see Marvel Rivals being a bit of a juggernaut based on the brand alone. But what do you make of it? Watch your entire team pick Iron Man in the comments section below.
