Mobile gamers eager for more Marvel action, rejoice! While you might not have access to the blockbuster hero shooter Marvel Rivals on your mobile devices just yet, a thrilling crossover is on the horizon. Set to launch on January 3rd, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for an exciting collaboration with top Marvel mobile titles including Marvel Puzzle Quest, Future Fight, and Snap. Although details are still under wraps, you can expect something big from this partnership.
The announcement, shared via Twitter, has set the stage for what promises to be a monumental event in the Marvel gaming world. This isn't NetEase's first dance with Marvel's mobile universe; earlier this month, Marvel Snap introduced a season featuring characters like Galacta and Peni Parker, who were previously highlighted in Marvel Rivals. This crossover further cements NetEase's significant impact on Marvel's mobile gaming scene.
While some may hyperbolically label Marvel Rivals as an "Overwatch killer," there's no denying its immense popularity. This crossover could serve as a unique opportunity to elevate the profile of Marvel's mobile games, flipping the traditional script where console and PC games benefit from mobile collaborations.
It's worth noting that Luna Snow, a key character in Marvel Rivals, first appeared in Future Fight before transitioning to the comics, highlighting the interconnectedness of Marvel's gaming and comic universes. As we approach the collaboration's launch, the anticipation is palpable, especially given the momentum NetEase has built over the holiday season.
