Gamers excited for the upcoming Overwatch<\/em>-like, team-based, comic book shooter Marvel Rivals<\/em> got a nice surprise this morning with an official reveal of the game’s first map.<\/p>
After unintentionally posting a video<\/a> for it last week, Marvel Rivals<\/a> <\/em>debuted a teaser video for Yggsgard on April 12. The location is a hybrid of Thor’s homeworld Asgard and Yggdrasill, the world tree. It’s also what devs describe as “the first of many worlds across these new timelines.”<\/p>

“After the Timestream Entanglement, Asgard, the Golden Realm, fused with Yggdrasill, the World Tree that connects all of the Ten Realms,” the reveal<\/a> said. “All of its gleaming glory now flourishes with otherworldly flora. However, beneath this branch-knitted veil, Loki, the cunning god of mischief, has used his tricks and schemes, to seize control and build his new kingdom: Yggsgard.”<\/p>
The location was first shown in Marvel Rivals’ <\/em>debut trailer<\/a> in March, but today’s new teaser video shows off more of its areas, and it’s just plain gorgeous. Asgard’s gold-laden halls of royalty with Yggdrasill as a glorious backdrop makes for an incredible map to fight on.<\/p>
Marvel Rivals <\/em>already boasts a large assortment of Marvel characters, which will likely only grow over time with more new heroes and villains in the free-to-play third-person shooter title. As of now, the game is only confirmed for PC release, but a potential hint towards console availability<\/a> was recently teased.<\/p>
