Marvel Rivals Playtest is a playtest associated with Marvel Rivals, the Super Hero team-based PvP shooter. The playtest is a separate test product; its specific included content is not described. As context, Marvel Rivals brings Marvel heroes and villains together in team combat, drawing characters from groups including the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men.
The parent game’s design centers on fast 6v6 battles and combinations of character powers. Team-Up skills let players coordinate heroes for distinctive attacks: the source gives Rocket Raccoon riding on Groot’s back and Hulk charging Iron Man’s armor with Gamma energy as examples. These mechanics describe Marvel Rivals, not a guarantee of what the playtest contains.
Battles in Marvel Rivals are set in destructible Marvel locations, where players can alter terrain, take cover or use makeshift weapons. The game’s wider design also emphasizes an evolving universe, with seasonal additions of heroes and maps. Those features help explain the parent game’s premise and identity, but the playtest’s precise scope is unspecified, and its content may differ from the full game.
