Marvel Rivals’ release date has been revealed less than an hour before the official announcement at Gamescom 2024’s opening night, and the free-to-play hero shooter arrives on December 6, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The official Epic Games Store X account preemptively posted about the Marvel Rival’s release date before promptly deleting it.
Marvel Rivals is a team-based, PvP hero shooter in which players become one of many Marvel characters. Players participate in 6v6 battles where they can choose between a range of Marvel superheroes and villains from the Avengers, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, and other multiverses.
The title features fast-paced gameplay with destructive and ever-changing battlefields. You must strategically use your super abilities and powers to defeat the other team. Players can coordinate with other Marvel Rivals players and trigger some Team-Up Skills, too. The game will feature new content, maps, heroes, and more with each seasonal drop.
