Marvel Games’ new free-to-play shooter, Marvel Rivals, has officially announced its launch with an impressive lineup of 12 exciting new MCU-themed costumes that will be available for purchase at the game’s debut. The game promises to take on the ultra-competitive hero shooter landscape, rivaling popular titles like Overwatch 2 and Valorant.
At launch, players can expect to play as 33 playable heroes and villains from across the Marvel canon, with new characters set to debut post-release at no additional cost. To generate revenue, Marvel Rivals will primarily rely on supplemental cosmetic items such as skins for players to customize their heroes’ looks.

The skin bundles are priced between $18 and $1800, depending on the character’s complexity. Marvel Rivals is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on Friday, December 6.
