While nothing has been confirmed, the evidence that Marvel Rivals is coming to consoles is mounting as the game's files mention crossplay.
Marvel Rivals wears its Overwatch influences on its sleeve, and there's one playable hero that finally makes a scrapped Overwatch concept a reality.
NetEase has required content creators to sign a contract prohibiting them from saying anything bad about Marvel Rivals for playtest access.
No faith in the product. Why should I put faith that it will turn out any good and spend money on it?
Pretty unethical practice. But there will be content creators happy to shill it like they did with other bad products in the past. I remember kinda funny games telling us how great the Avengers live service game was.
It's hard to actually judge the value of this proposition
for 1) it could have a perverse effect on the perception that the game must suck if they don't allow negative reviews.
But on the other hand, we have seen how a game can be tanked just by having streamers or content creators bashing the game just for the sake of bashing due to the nature of the game or who's behind it.
My best example would be Day's Gone where the media already bashed the game due to being another generic open world with a white male protagonist.
A balance should be found between both extremes.
This Marvel Rivals heroes abilities guide breaks down each character available in the playtest and what they can do on the battlefield.
