Marvel Rivals – Path to Doomsday

GuangGuang (Creative Director at NetEase Games), Yachen Bian (Publishing and Marketing Lead at NetEase Games), and Danny Koo (Executive Producer at Marvel Games) shared the upcoming roadmap for the game. In April, June, August, and October, Marvel Rivals will roll out special events and new game modes inspired by Marvel Studios' Avengers movies, from Marvel Studios' The Avengers to Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame. Then, in December, to celebrate the release of Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel Rivals will unveil exciting new game modes and events. The team also shared highlight metrics showcasing the breadth of engagement for the game:

  • Discord community: More than 4.2M
  • Total playable Super Heroes: 47
  • Total maps launched: 20 (Practice Range is not included)
  • Total costumes released: 418
  • Extra Game modes available: 11

New Special Mode

Players will have access to a new, limited-time, special game mode. In this asymmetric fight mode, one player plays as Loki, facing off against six other players who play as different heroes. Loki is equipped with an all-new skill set, combining deception, illusions, and powerful Infinity Stone abilities to turn enemies against each other, similar to events in Marvel Studios' The Avengers. He can manipulate enemy heroes in battle using mind control and summon versions of the six heroes he commands to join the battlefield to defeat the players. Other heroes can also summon Hulk under certain conditions, recreating iconic scenes from the film! This game mode-related Loki costume has been unveiled.
