Marvel Rivals is heading to consoles too

Earlier this month, Marvel Games announced a new partnership with NetEase to produce Marvel Rivals, a new PvP shooter featuring a full cast of Marvel characters. Currently, the game is only announced for PC, with plans for beta testing to take place soon. However, it does look like the game will also be coming to consoles.

With a very similar set-up to Overwatch, Marvel Rivals will put players in hectic PvP matches, synergising different hero abilities to try and gain an edge on the enemy team. As a free to play multiplayer title, Marvel Rivals will work best as a multiplatform release, so we were never expecting it to be a PC exclusive. However, the lack of console version announcement was seen as odd.

Fortunately for console gamers, Marvel Rivals looks to be heading to Xbox Series X/S and PS5. As spotted by Dreamz on Twitter, hidden code on the Marvel Rivals website reveals that the game is planned to come to Steam, the Epic Games Store, as well as Xbox Series X/S and PS5 consoles.

Other leaks from game researcher, Kurakasis, claim that a mobile version of the game may also be on the way, along with a Spider-Punk skin as one of the first confirmed cosmetics.
