With a new Marvel Rivals trailer, Marvel has revealed that Wolverine, Black Widow, Iron Fist, Squirrel Girl, and Cloak and Dagger will all be part of its upcoming 6 v 6 hero shooter. The company says in an announcement that each of them will be “fully revealed” in one trailer per day leading up to its December 6th launch.
The trailer hints at some of the attacks the characters will have, including a Hulk / Wolverine team-up that involves the big green guy flinging Marvel’s furry short king at their adversaries. Some other paired attacks show up, like Squirrel Girl catching a Spider-Man web ball and apparently turning it into an exploding slingshot projectile, or Black Window and Hawkeye firing side-by-side.
Marvel also took the wraps off a new map called Kyntar: Symbiotic Surface in a separate video published on Thursday. Here’s the synopsis from Marvel’s announcement:
The awakening Knull has cast a shadow over the Panther God Bast. In response, Shuri sends the Guardians of the Galaxy to Klyntar to seek out a solution to this looming threat. After the Milano crashes on Klyntar, the Guardians bump into Venom. The two sides have different opinions on how to defeat Knull: Venom, having extracted the Knull Essence from a controlled symbiote, argues for caution due to its volatile nature and the risk of harming the planet’s symbiotes. With Knull still dormant, Venom prefers to wait until they can harness this power safely. On the other hand, the Guardians, tasked by Shuri, are eager to immediately neutralize Knull’s influence over the gods including Bast. At an impasse, they decide to go their separate ways.
Marvel Rivals is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) on December 6th. Ahead of that, the Marvel Games team is holding an AMA on December 4th at 10PM ET on the game’s official Discord.
