Marvel Rivals has gone gold

The highly anticipated hero shooter, Marvel Rivals, is ready to assemble! With its official launch just around the corner, developer Second Dinner Studios has announced that the game has gone gold, signalling a smooth liftoff for the upcoming hero shooter.

While leveraging a popular IP like Marvel doesn't guarantee success, Marvel Rivals has generated significant excitement, even if it's often considered a third-person Overwatch. The game's recent betas have showcased its gameplay and diverse roster of iconic Marvel characters, leaving fans looking for more.

Now, with the “gone gold” announcement, players can be more assured that the December 6th launch date is locked and loaded. While the traditional significance of “going gold” has diminished in the age of day-one patches and ongoing updates, it still signifies a level of confidence and polish that gamers like to hear.

Marvel Rivals is already making waves on Steam, sitting at number six on the platform's most wishlisted games. The strong pre-release interest and generally positive reception of the betas suggest the game could face a massive influx of players at launch. Hopefully, the servers will be able to deal with it.

Second Dinner Studios hasn't been resting on its laurels since the beta concluded. They've continued to refine the gameplay, add new content, and bolster the already impressive roster of heroes. Recent announcements have confirmed the addition of Moon Knight and Hawkeye, increasing the total number of playable characters to 28 heroes.

Furthermore, the developers have committed to full transparency by displaying detailed hero metrics, including pick rates and win rates, to provide players with valuable insights into the game's balance and meta. Three new maps have also been revealed, including the planet of Klyntar, Intergalactic Wakanda, and a Hydra fortress. The game will be available free-to-play on December 6th for PC and consoles.
