To commemorate the occasion, NetEase is offering a free celebratory splash to all players who login between 20th December and 10th January.
Marvel Rivals’ success has been nothing short of sensational, but it’s well deserved. The art direction is out of this world, and the game loop feels great – especially on the DualSense controller, which takes wonderful advantage of haptic feedback.
While a live service licensed superhero game seems like a shoo-in for success, it’s worth remembering the muted critical reception and poor commercial performance of the likes of Marvel’s Avengers and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
In addition to being very generous with its available content, Marvel Rivals is just a pristinely polished objectives-based multiplayer game. Of course there are balancing issues and creases to iron out, but the game deserves all of the success it’s getting – and we suspect there’s much more to come.
