The launch trailer for Marvel Rivals came out a little while ago today. The trailer features one final pre-release look at the Marvel themed team-based PvP shooter.
Marvel Rivals is slated to arrive on December 6 at midnight (UTC). All heroes will be unlocked and free to play at launch. A pre-load for the game will be live on Steam starting on December 4 at midnight (UTC).
Today's launch trailer also comes alongside word of another map for the game. The map is for Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface. There will also be further details shared on five heroes throughout the week. Those heroes include Squirrel Girl, Black Widow, Cloak & Dagger, Iron Fist, and Wolverine.
The awakening Knull has cast a shadow over the Panther God Bast. In response, Shuri sends the Guardians of the Galaxy to Klyntar to seek out a solution to this looming threat. After the Milano crashes on Klyntar, the Guardians bump into Venom. The two sides have different opinions on how to defeat Knull: Venom, having extracted the Knull Essence from a controlled symbiote, argues for caution due to its volatile nature and the risk of harming the planet's symbiotes. With Knull still dormant, Venom prefers to wait until they can harness this power safely. On the other hand, the Guardians, tasked by Shuri, are eager to immediately neutralize Knull's influence over the gods including Bast. At an impasse, they decide to go their separate ways.
The launch trailer features renowned rock vocalist Chrissy Costanza, performing the theme song "Rivals 'Til the End". Best known as the powerhouse frontwoman of band Against The Current and for her iconic gaming anthems like "Legends Never Die" and "Phoenix”, Chrissy’s career seamlessly bridges the worlds of gaming and music. The official video games soundtrack for Marvel Rivals, Galactic Tunes, launches on streaming platforms December 6, with limited vinyl now available for pre-order on Mutant.
