Marvel and NetEase announced today that Clint Barton, better known as Hawkeye, will be joining the launch roster for Marvel Rivals. In addition, the studios revealed the Birnin T'Challa Wakanda map that will also be included with the game at launch.
We also got word about a Season 0, Doom's Rise, that will kick off with the launch of the game on December 6. This pre-season season will run for a month and include a total of 33 heroes, 8 maps for Quick Match and Competitive modes, a Conquest map, and a Practice Range area. This Season 0 will have a Battle Pass but given the shorter than normal nature of the season, the Battle Pass will be half of a normal pass for the game.
About Hawkeye
Clint Barton is one of the greatest marksmen alive. He may not have superpowers, but his natural ability to hit virtually any target earned him a place alongside Earth’s mightiest heroes. As Hawkeye, he's been known to take down an entire enemy fleet with nothing more than a quiver full of arrows. Hawkeye's unparalleled skills as a marksman have earned him a spot alongside earth's mightiest heroes.
About Birnin T'Challa Wakanda Map
As a futuristic, interstellar city of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, the highly developed Birnin T'challa has a unique urban landscape featuring high density vibranium skyscrapers combined with traditional African tribal architectural styles, presenting the bold, distinctive imagination of Afrofuturism. The totemism and religious beliefs of old never left Wakanda—statues of Bast, the Black Panther goddess, can be seen all throughout the city in a variety of forms, ranging from vibranium statues to holographic projections.

The Marvel Rivals team has revealed the game’s roadmap and come December 6, players will be able to jump right into Season 0 "Dooms' Rise”. Over the course of this month-long kick-off season, there will be a total of 33 heroes, 8 maps for Quick Match and Competitive modes, a Conquest map, and a brand-new Practice Range, "Dooms' Rise" is the opening season of Marvel Rivals and it's all about the chaos caused by Doctor Doom's time experiments. Additionally, players can also watch Volume 1 of a video series on the development journey and plans for Marvel Rivals.
At launch, there will be a battle pass packed with costumes and cosmetic items. Since Season 0 only lasts about a month, the Season 0 pass has half the content of a full Seasonal Battle Pass and is priced accordingly. The in-game store will be regularly updated and packed with costumes from classic comics, MCU-inspired designs, and costumes that directly reflect the game’s unique story and much more!.
Also set to be launched in conjunction with Season 0 are the "Imperial Protocol" series of costumes. These unique costumes are designed around the concept of "Afrofuturism", which combines the ancient tribal elements of Africa with futuristic, intergalactic technology. In the story of Season 0, Black Panther has become the monarch of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, and has a kingly outfit - "Imperial Protocol: Galactic Claw" - to match his status. Over the course of the story, he welcomes different heroes to his empire, such as Captain America and Mantis. Captain America will possess the "Imperial Protocol: Galactic Talon" armor and Mantis will have her own battle suit: "Imperial Protocol: Galactic Wings", both of which combine their respective aesthetics with futuristic tech. The newly announced Hawkeye will be the fourth in this story set to receive an “Imperial Protocol” costume and will be revealed soon.
