Marvel Rivals Launches December 6 with Diverse Hero Roster

Marvel Rivals, the new hero shooter game from NetEase, has finally unveiled its final launch characters ahead of its release date on December 6. The game boasts an impressive roster of over 40 characters, including some unexpected additions.

The list includes big names like Wolverine and Spider-Man, as well as lesser-known heroes like Squirrel Girl and Luna Snow. Some notable omissions include Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Professor X from the mutant side, while the Avengers’ roster is mostly filled with core members and newer additions.

One of the game’s standout features is its unique character designs, which set it apart from other hero shooters. The inclusion of lesser-known heroes like Jeff the Land Shark and Peni Parker adds to the game’s diversity.

The game’s “fastball special” combo move between Hulk and Wolverine is a fun nod to comic book fans. It remains to be seen whether this will make an appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars, but it’s clear that Marvel Rivals has put thought into its character roster.

With only a few days left until launch, Marvel Rivals seems poised for a strong debut. Will the game live up to its promise? Only time will tell, but with its diverse roster and unique character designs, this is definitely one to watch.
