Marvel Rivals is a hero shooter video game developed and published by NetEase Games in collaboration with Marvel Games, origianlly relaseing for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X}S on December 6, 2024. Thanks to its deep lineup of 43 Marvel Comics characters, plenty of unique skins, six game modes, 13 maps, and cross-play support, the free-to-play title quickly gained popularity upon its release.
As of February 2025, it has reached over 40 million players, with NetEase providing constant updates, just like Marvel Zombies, through seasonal content patches.
