Marvel Rivals is set to reveal some new information to players, as the hero shooter will be featured August 20 at Gamescom. The live event featuring Marvel Rivals and other games teases some brand-new updates for players who have been awaiting the game's launch.
As Marvel Comics' answer to the hero shooter genre, Marvel Rivals pits some of the most notable characters from the various Marvel franchises against one another in a 6v6 arena. From Spider-Man to Doctor Strange, some of the most popular heroes are featured on Marvel Rivals' roster. However, there are also characters who are fun deep cuts. The addition of Jeff the Land Shark was a big hit with many of the game's recent closed beta participants, promising a fun blend of lesser-known characters and household names. Now that the closed beta is over, Marvel Rivals has its sights set on next week's Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
On August 20, Marvel Rivals will be featured in a special live event to inaugurate the beginning of Gamescom. The livestream, titled Opening Night Live, teases the reveal of new updates and heroes that are set to be featured in Marvel Rivals. The official announcement came from both the Marvel Rivals Twitter account and Geoff Keighley, promising exciting things in store for viewers.
Marvel Rivals Will Broadcast Special Live Event on August 20
As of now, there is no official word on what these teased surprises will be. The Marvel Rivals roster has been growing since the game's announcement, and there are a lot of potential heroes that have yet to make their way into the game that could possibly be revealed. A recently leaked promotional image showcasing a Captain America design made its rounds on the internet, exciting many who had been awaiting his arrival. Despite the game's diverse roster, there are still other Avengers members missing, in addition to Captain America. Black Widow and Hawkeye have yet to be seen, but the Opening Night Live stream will hopefully reveal some of these characters.
Since the initial announcement of the game, Marvel Rivals has offered some healthy competition for Overwatch 2. As the game continues to evolve, it will be exciting what new features and characters Marvel Rivals has in store for players. Although it's unknown what the Opening Night Live stream will reveal, it appears to be teasing something big.
