Marvel Rivals is Marvel’s newest video game. The company is no stranger to the gaming world, but Rivals is unlike any other Marvel game currently available on the market. Instead of a solo story-based game like Insomniac’s Spider-Man series or a mobile game like Marvel Strike Force, Marvel Rivals is a player-vs-player (PvP) hero shooter that pits a team of six heroes against another team of six heroes. That formula probably sounds familiar because it’s extremely similar to some other PvP games, namely Overwatch 2.To be blunt, Marvel Rivals is one of Overwatch 2’s only direct competitors. Other games in the space either aren’t exactly the same, like Fortnite and Apex Legends, or they aren’t nearly as popular as Overwatch 2. Marvel Rivals is so similar to the Blizzard title that many critics have called Marvel Rivals an “Overwatch clone” to try and discredit how it is currently dominating the space. It’s unlikely that Marvel Rivals’ success will chase Overwatch off for good, but for the first time in years, the latter has serious competition, and Blizzard Entertainment is noticeably sweating.Since the game’s launch, enthusiasm for it hasn’t died down. X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram have been flooded with Marvel Rivals content. There have been plenty of Twitch live streams of streamers showing off the game. TikTok is overflowing with clips of incredible plays and tips for playing each hero successfully. Plenty of players are giving their opinions on which characters are “meta” and which characters are weak and, of course, all forms of social media have been overloaded with memes.
