Marvel Rivals Release Date

While we already know that NetEase is set to unleash something later at gamescom Opening Nigh Live, it seems we now know what that is! Not only are we getting a new trailer, but the planned announcement for Marvel Rivals’ release date has leaked!

The leak stems from the Epic Games Store, which mentions the free-to-play hero shooter is incoming on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC this December 8, 2024!  The tweet has since been pulled, but not before it was captured. Thanks to reliable leaker Visceral who posted not only the pre-mature announcement, but also the trailer set to air later today where we see Captain America and The Winter Soldier confirmed to be part of the heroes stable.

Check out the video below before it gets officially revealed later: Added the official trailer for better quality!

As you can see, Captain America is a Vanguard (tank), and we see some of his abilities in action which uses his shield to great effect! Heck, it can even counter ultimates per the trailer. As for Bucky, his metallic arm can morph and he’s clearly a Duelist (damage) character.

Of course, there’s also a CGI trailer incoming later today, and if I had to hazard a guess, we’ll be getting an open beta before the full game launches in December.

Once the official info is out later today, we’ll add the relevant info to the article. If you’re nota familiar with the game, head on over here to see our impressions of the closed beta.

Update: Added the official trailer confirming the release date and other info.
