Marvel Rivals has proven to be a big hit for NetEase Games and Marvel. The popular 6v6 team-based hero shooter currently gives players the opportunity to choose between 33 heroes and villains. With such a robust number of characters, fans have been busy testing out every ability and trying various team compositions. While some players feel characters need a bit of rebalancing, many are happy with the current state of the game. As of this writing, Marvel Rivals does not feature a role queue, which means players are free to try out any combination of heroes and villains they would like.
Marvel Rivals Leak Reveals New Vanguard Character
A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker reveals that NetEase Games could be releasing a new vanguard character for the hero shooter in the near future.
The Redditor Responsible-Ad394 recently posted an original concept for the X-Men character Gambit in the art style of Marvel Rivals. The artist's rendition features Gambit's classic trench coat with a purple chest piece and colorful highlights along the character's armor. In true Marvel Rivals fashion, Gambit has a broader, bulkier build than most comic book versions of the popular X-Men character. Gambit wouldn't be complete without his signature staff and playing cards, both of which have a light purple glow within the artwork. Recently, Responsible-Ad394 also posted their original concept art of Cyclops in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals Fan Creates Concept Art for Gambit
This new art has come at a time when players are eager to know what the future of Marvel Rivals might look like. Fellow Redditors were quick to praise the artist's work, even mentioning that they thought the artwork was a leaked character when they first saw it. While there haven't been any hints of X-Men characters coming to the game, leakers have found that Fantastic Four characters may be coming to Marvel Rivals in the near future. Leaks have also shown off new skins for characters like Venom and Black Widow.
While fans are eagerly waiting to see which characters will be added to the game's roster in the future, NetEase Games has launched a couple of new skins on its shop to keep players looking fresh. Unfortunately, many fans have taken issue with the price of MCU cosmetics in Marvel Rivals. However, fans were also quick to note that cosmetics are the only form of microtransactions within the game, as all future maps, characters, and features will remain free. With such a wide variety of characters and maps that could be added to Marvel Rivals in the future, many players are enthusiastic about what will come next for the hero shooter.
