It only took one Marvel Rivals<\/em> trailer for fans to deem it the “Overwatch killer,” and rightfully so. The game shares many similarities with Overwatch 2<\/em> yet seems different enough to potentially contest the hero shooter giant.<\/p>
The teaser trailer for Marvel Rivals<\/em><\/a> went live on March 27 and showed us a glimpse of what to expect in the upcoming 6-vs-6 hero shooter, and fans on social media already believe it will take down its seemingly direct competitor, Overwatch 2<\/em><\/a>. “Is Marvel Rivals the Overwatch killer? WELL YES!,” an X user named Bryce wrote<\/a>. “Marvel Rivals is the actual Overwatch 2, prove me wrong LOL,” wrote another user.<\/p>
The similarities between the two games can’t be ignored. They look so similar a Reddit<\/a> post on March 27 from a rumored Marvel Rival<\/em>‘s alpha tester says the game is a “straight up overwatch clone,” adding that the art style, game design, and everything else feels like an Overwatch<\/em> knockoff.<\/p>
Despite looking like an Overwatch<\/em> knockoff, Marvel Rivals<\/em> seemingly has multiple unique features<\/a> that differentiate the game from its rivals (pun intended), from combo abilities with certain characters on your team to third-person gameplay and destructible environments. Moreover, the game reportedly<\/a> has a “robust post-launch roadmap,” making it even more exciting to see what’s in store for fans.<\/p>
Still, whether\u00a0Marvel Rivals<\/em>\u00a0will truly be the\u00a0Overwatch 2<\/em>\u00a0killer remains to be seen. There’s no information regarding the release date of the game just yet but with the next closed alpha test<\/a> taking place in May, we might see new information surface very soon.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
