Marvel Rivals Adds Moon Knight to Roster, Final Fantasy and Street Fighter Audio Devs Confirmed Part of Dev Team

At D23 Brazil. NetEase and Marvel Games revealed a new hero that’s confirmed to be in Marvel Rivals’ launch roster, and it’s Moon Knight! Given Marvel Rivals doesn’t follow the MCU or any specific comic cannon when it comes to character appearance, the dev team shared that for the character, they incorporated a color scheme of white and black, which draws form the ancient Egyptian mythology linked with Khonshu.

Check out the character and his abilities below:

Marvel Rivals’ Moon Knight Design Is Vastly Different From the Comics

As you can see from the trailer, Marvel Rivals’ Moon Knight drops the form-fitting traditional super suits seen in the comics. For the game, NetEase integrated technological components and a more rugged armor motif into the character design.

Not familiar with the character? Here’s a brief description straight from the press release:

Mercenary Marc Spector was given a second chance at life when he became the avatar of the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu. As Moon Knight, he doles out righteous vengeance, locked in a never-ending battle with both the criminals on the streets and the voices in his head. In Marvel Rivals, Moon Knight wields supernatural powers bestowed by Khonshu to vanquish his foes.

Other than Moon Knight’s reveal trailer, NetEase also revealed that two veteran music producer for games are joining the dev team. Shota Nakama is the main music producer and arranger for the upcoming free-to-play hero PvP game. Nakama’s previous works include Final Fantasy XV and Made in Abyss. Another dev team addition is Masahiro Aoki as the game’s music composer, and the dev is known for his work on Street Fighter V and Bayonetta 3.

Before Moon Knight, NetEase revealed that Psylocke will be part of the roster. Chances are, we’ll be getting more hints for the next few heroes included in the launch lineup leading up to the game’ s December release.

In other Marvel Rivals news, the dev team talked about the comparisons to Overwatch, and mentioned how Rivals is not only faster-paced, but also more accessible to new players.
