It seems like it's no longer a secret that over the last few years, after the success they achieved on the big screen, they have been very interested in achieving the same success in the gaming industry. However, different from the Star Wars strategy in the past where they appointed only one exclusive publisher, Marvel immediately distributed this responsibility to so many developers and publishers, each of whom built different content. Not only focusing on single player games, Marvel is also reportedly going to introduce an Overwatch-style hero shooter game.
With superheroes each having their own unique powers, a typical Overwatch-style action hero shooter game is of course a super rational choice. Even though it hasn't been officially announced by Marvel, the announcement they teased indicates such an approach. Leaker named Akurakis, who also leaked the title Marvel 1943 before it was available to the public, stated that this game would carry the name Marvel Rivals. There is no further information about what the visual approach will be like and how many heroes will be included.
… maybe it’s even sooner, lol.
BTW, I’m not sure about mobile version. PC for 100%, consoles – maybe? https://t.co/ccQCazEbYn

Marvel Rivals will reportedly be available for the PC platform, with the potential to also be brought to the mobile realm via Android and iOS. Overwatch-style Marvel shooter game? Sound like an interesting concept to you?
