Marvel has given fans a multiplayer game they can play with their favorite heroes or villains in an arena shooter that takes a lot of inspiration from Overwatch. Marvel Rivals will be a 6v6 team-based hero shooter that will have its closed beta test in July. Since the closed alpha test was a success, many players want to see what the game is all about.

While the closed alpha playtest had a considerable number of characters and interesting game modes, the most notable addition to the closed beta playtest is that it will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Apart from this, crossplay, and cross-progression, here is what you can expect:

  • Adam Warlock and Venom will be available as playable characters.
  • TOKYO 2099: SPIDER-ISLANDS will be available as a new playable map.
  • Multiple language options.
  • More regions will have access to the closed beta playtest.

The closed alpha playtest for Marvel Rivals was only available on PC, but since it will be available on consoles this time, more users will want to check it out, which could result in bottlenecks and performance issues.

It is worth noting that there is no guarantee that everyone will get a spot, as players who reached level 10 in the closed alpha playtest will get first priority. Everyone else will need to register and hope for the best.
