During Sony’s State of Play event on Thursday, it was revealed that the super hero team-based PVP shooter would be coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S alongside PC at launch. A closed beta for the game was also announced and will be taking place sometime in July for all platforms.

“In Marvel Rivals, players can look forward to choosing heroes split into three distinct roles based on their unique power inclinations: Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist,” reads the game’s synopsis. “They’ll be free to pick their preferred role and hero, teaming up with allies to create a versatile and dynamic lineup for battle. But that’s not all, as they’ll be able to reach a whole new level of team play collaboration with Team-Up Abilities, unleashing joint superpowers with their allies, tearing down the battlefield to win in exciting fights! Marvel Rivals is in development by a NetEase team composed of global talent that share a profound love for the Marvel universe and characters who previously worked on hit shooter franchises played by millions of players worldwide.”
