Marvel Comics has one of the best rosters of superheroes and supervillains, and you’re able to smash them against each other in Marvel Rivals now that the game is available to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A free-to-play team-based competitive shooter that has kicked off the Dracula-themed Season One update, Marvel Rivals is developed by NetEase and features playable characters from superteams like the Avengers, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
So far, dozens of heroes and villains are in the game, giving players a diverse group of portal-manipulating wizards, not-so-jolly green giants with astonishing anger management issues, and a fictional K-pop sensation to use in combat. Set in a universe where Doctor Doom and his 2099 incarnation have mucked about with time and created an anomaly called the Timestream Entanglement, this event eventually leads to heroes and villains battling each other in 6v6 battles across destructible environments.
Season 4.5 adds new content to the game when it goes live on October 10, like the new Duelist character Daredevil, cross-platform progression, and several tweaks to Team-Up abilities.
For a closer look at how these characters stack up when compared to each other, you can also check out GameSpot’s tier lists on the best Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist characters to play as.
