Marvel Rivals has confirmed that an in-game event, as well as a 6v6 tournament, will be part of the game's closed beta test later this month. The beta is set to begin on July 23 and will run until August 5. Interested fans on console have been instructed to complete a questionnaire for the chance to be picked to enter the beta, while PC gamers must request access via the Marvel Rivals Steam page.
A new 6v6 Overwatch- inspired hero shooter, Marvel Rivals features third-person gameplay and offers a wide array of popular and beloved Marvel heroes and villains. From some of Marvel's most iconic characters, like Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Hulk, to some of its more niche additions such as Namor, Luna Snow, and Peni Parker, Marvel Rivals pulls from almost every corner of the Marvel universe. So far, Marvel Rivals is confirmed to house three game modes: Convoy, Domination, and Convergence. Convoy is essentially a payload mode similar to that of Overwatch's Escort mode, while Convergence mimics Call of Duty's Hardpoint. Domination is a classic mode where teams fight over control of three capture points.
Marvel Rivals Console Beta Sign-Ups Available Now, Dates Confirmed
Marvel Rivals reveals when its upcoming closed beta test will be held, and console owners can now sign up for their chance to participate.
Just a few weeks before the closed beta test is set to go live, Marvel Rivals has revealed some additional information detailing what players can expect if they're chosen for the beta. Marvel Rivals' closed beta will host an in-game event named "Galacta's Quest," which will let players earn event XP by completing a set of missions. Exactly what these quests will entail is unknown, but players who complete them will be rewarded with the exclusive Cyan Clash costume for Venom, which will carry over to the launch of the full game so long as players continue to use the same account.
Marvel Rivals Closed Beta Will Feature Galacta's Quest Event And War Of The Realms Tournament
Marvel Rivals has even more in store for its closed beta participants. A 6v6 tournament titled "War of the Realms" awaits players looking for some serious competition. Players will have from July 25 to July 30 to register for the tournament, which will take place from July 30 to August 4. Additionally, players who reach level six in the Marvel Rival s beta will have a chance to grab an extra invite code that can be used to grant a friend access to the beta, though Marvel Rivals has warned that these codes are limited and players will need to act fast if they want to invite a buddy.
While it seems that Mavel Rivals has a lot going on for its upcoming closed beta test, it's still a game under construction. Marvel Rivals currently doesn't have a 1.0 release date confirmed yet, but if all goes well with the beta test, the game may see a full launch sometime this fall, either in September or October after a potential last-minute open beta. For now, fans can register for a chance to play the game later this month.
