This Alpha will run in May 2024. The exact dates and times have not been announced yet but since it is a little over a month away from the initial announcement, one should expect them to reveal these details very soon.
When will the Marvel Rivals Release Date be?
As of writing this article, the Marvel Rivals Release Date is unknown.
We do have an Alpha test coming in May, 2024. With what was shown of the gameplay, Rivals is clearly deep into development. They have 18 heroes confirmed which you can read about in our Full Marvel Rivals Roster: Confirmed and Rumored article. Also what was shown were a few maps and some early graphics.
With the way things go this game will have a beta test likely sometime near the end of the summer of 2024 if everything goes well with Alpha testing. After that, it is all guesswork. Rivals could come out as early as Holiday Season 2024 or as late as a few years down the road if they end up having to redo parts of it or if the alpha and beta players are not enjoying the game.
The best guess is that Marvel Rivals will come out sometime in the middle of 2025.
What Consoles will Marvel Rivals be On?
As for what consoles Marvel Rivals be on, that is also unknown.
It is safe to assume that considering it is Disney and it is expected to be a major title as they find their way into competitive gaming that Rivals will be on PC and at least Xbox and PlayStation. Whether that is on Xbox One or PS4 or not is unclear. As more companies move away from building games for older gen consoles it seems unlikely.
Also, it will be worth watching for the Nintendo Switch. Overwatch 2 is on the Switch and it seems like Marvel Rivals would be perfect for it as well.
Marvel Rivals Gameplay
The Marvel Rivals gameplay will be very similar to Overwatch 2. Or more the original Overwatch. This is mainly in the sense that it will be a 6v6 game than a 5v5 one. All of the heroes will either be some form of DPS, tank or support.
The goal seems to be capturing different points and fighting to push different areas or objectives. This truly feels like the exact same genre that Overwatch is but with Marvel heroes. For some that will be perfect as Marvel has a huge fanbase. For others, it may not be enough to draw them away from Overwatch 2.
