With the timestream on the brink of collapse, it's time for our heroes to rise!

From Tokyo 2099 to the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, and to Hydra Charteris Base and Klyntar, Galacta has assembled more heroes to take on the ultimate challenge. Who will you choose as your main to save the Multiverse on December 6th?

 

[Fahdis]

That actually looks dope and I am on super hero fatigue.

 

[Soodanim]

I don't know what it is. Not a clue. All I saw was a Marvel animation in an art style I haven't seen before, nothing to do with a game.

The beta was great, can't wait tbh. An Overwatch clone that's actually more than OW ever was, with more likeable and interesting characters.

It's crazy because I thought it was going to be a lazy clone mobiley feeling game, but it wasn't at all -- pleasantly surprised. The game just feels like they care, there's even an animation for highlighting a character portrait, plenty of little details. Love that they use more obscure or lesser known characters too

A third person Overwatch style game that's free, and actually looks good

F2P 6v6 hero shooter with marvel characters. Their beta from last summer was pretty popular.

You mean there's a new Marvel game that isn't a card game and that people like? Surprised I didn't see threads about it before

 

[SpearHea.:D]

Looks dope

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

It was fun in short burst.

 

[Davevil]

Galacta ???

 

[Heisenberg007]

I'm surprisingly looking forward to trying this.

 

[havoc00]

Kinda hyped for this tbh

 

[Mister Wolf]

Overwatch killer.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Looks great, I wasn't a big fan of Overwatch but still enjoyed it enough when I played it years ago. Would definitely give this a try with the cool marvel characters.

 

[Fahdis]

Canon height wolvie bros. WAGMI!

 

[Fbh]

The previous cinematic trailer was cooler:


Either way I'll probably check it out when it launches.

 

[Holammer]

Oh man, the lack of body positive representation! Squirrel Girl is kinda thick, but that's it.

 

[Branded]

Chinese Marvel is something else isn't it? That animation is amazing. Love the anime intro hah.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Whose the first chick, the Dva looking character? Looks like a female version of Galactus lol.

galactus' daughter.

 

[lughnasadh123]

This should be where we find out if people still enjoy hero shooters (they do) and just how much a F2P game with amazing designs help with people playing (a lot).

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm not going to play it, but the visuals look pretty good - a nice change of pace for this sorta game.

 

[od-chan]

for real. I was constantly wondering how and when Marvel suddenly became based, because that trailer is dope af, and I hate most things Marvel. Makes sooooo much more sense that it comes from China

Doreen??

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can't wait for this game, been dying to play since beta

 

[MiguelItUp]

Really hyped for this, the betas were outstanding and way better than they had any right to be. I just really hope they don't mess up the monetization and the roadmap.

 

[nnytk]

I wonder how much of a disadvantage you have when playing PS5, vs PC players.

I played Overwatch for hundreds of hours on PC and recently switched to PS5 for gaming. I'm not sure if I feel comfortable playing this type of game online with PC players...

Maybe that's a misconception on my end.

Game looks pretty damn good tbh.

You're going against people using a mouse to aim. Huge disadvantage.

The armor type uniforms are super ridiculous, superheroes don't wear armor!!!!. The Fornite aesthetic permeates everything in the game a service world.

60's spandex outfits look hella gay though.

Anyway, I'll try it out since it's f2p.

Doesn't matter since there won't be crossplatform or crossplay, and the devs during beta were being dicks about it.

Each platform is its own isolated version of Rivals, and handles are unique. So if you play on PS5 and PC you need a unique name on both and your unlocks don't transfer across. It's a colossal fuck up that's going to bite them in the ass next week.

 

[Doom85]

superheroes don't wear armor!!!!

(for that last one, I agree I wouldn’t want Batman wearing that armor most of the time, but fighting Superman does make sense he’d put it on. Although a Kevlar suit is apparently considered armor, so technically he’s armor-ed up usually anyway)

Maybe, but as long as every costume is "lore accurate", having been featured in the comics and/or movies, I don't have any objections.

This looked kinda silly for me as someone uninformed, but it's from a 2015-2016 series with 13 issues.

Yea Marvel once published a comic called ROM: Space Knight. The problem is the rights to that are now split between Hasbro and Marvel. Habro owns ROM and Marvel owns Space Knight, so when they brought it back they made Agent Venom into the new Space Knight.

I thought this was having full crossplay, hmm...

 

[ManaByte]

Nope. And the Devs were dicks about it in beta. Not happening. Could be a NetEase thing though.

After a quick Google I read from a few different sources that crossplay is in the game, but not for ranked play. Seems like it makes sense...

[balls of snow]

I am so in. Looks like Overwatch when ow was balance around being fun.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Do we have an official thread for this game?

 

[M.W.]

Sooo...I'm not going to be playing ranked so I'll be forced to play against PC players in quick play modes? Not ideal.

 

[Doom85]

I would assume you can turn off crossplay for non-ranked, but we’ll see.

Personally, as a console Overwatch player who keeps crossplay on, I never notice a huge difference. Mind you, I main Sombra, and an obvious character who would be stronger on KB/M is Widowmaker, but Sombra is a hard counter to Widowmaker.

So to many of the so-called “PC Master Race” players* who try to flex as Widow in a match with me, well, I’m all:

*note: not a general dig at PC players, just the ones who feel KB/M makes one vastly superior against console players ALWAYS ignoring individual character pros/cons and such.

Alternate marvel universe.

Is this real? That's the stupidest crap I have seen. Galactus is a cosmic entity....this is a TikTok 'celebrity'

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Is this real?

Of course it is.
