As Marvel Rivals Soars, Lapsed Overwatch Fans Grieve A Game They May Not Go Back To
Marvel Rivals, NetEase’s stab at a hero shooter starring Marvel’s iconic heroes, is doing exceptionally well a month after launch. It’s accumulated over 20 million players across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and its second season starring the Fantastic Four is off to a strong start. The studio has plans to release new heroes every six weeks, has already put out some incredible skins, and is consistently integrating lore to keep the story progressing as we all push payloads and capture points. This is happening in stark contrast to Overwatch 2, which has seen steady decline even before the sequel launched without most of its promised features. As Marvel Rivals’ momentum grows, fans of Overwatch 2 are in their feelings about leaving behind what was once the biggest game in the world. – Kenneth Shepard Read More
