There’s no beating around the bush: Concord is one of gaming’s biggest failures this year. The game peaked at a mere 697 players on Steam on launch day.
While the player count on PlayStation remains unknown, the fact that the game was pulled offline less than two weeks after launch speaks volumes. And its failure hasn’t been a shock to anyone who’s been even loosely following the news since its announcement.
People have been itching for standout first-party exclusives for the PS5, and Concord was unveiled as a live-service hero shooter. Those two buzzwords— “live-service” and “hero shooter”—felt like a slap in the face for many, considering how tired the gaming community has become of these genres. Hero shooters, once the darling of the multiplayer world, aren’t nearly as popular or wanted anymore.
So, when Concord finally dropped, the collective groan from the community was deafening.

Marvel Rivals seems all set to become the next big multiplayer shooter in gaming. With some of the most iconic characters in pop culture and a few overlapping mechanics from other hero shooters carrying it on its back.

Therein lies a problem, however. Although the game is banking on popular characters to draw in players, this approach could trap it in a cycle of predictability. With no way out of such a trap, there is a lingering concern that it may soon fall the way of Concord.

The video game crossover genre has been around since the late 1980s and includes everything from Super Smash Bros. to Fortnite. Although this style of game development may feel somewhat modern, now that every studio seems to be jumping on the bandwagon, it can actually be traced back to 1988 with the release of Konami Wai Wai World.
Since then, crossover titles have become increasingly popular, with games like MultiVersus and Funko Fusion as modern examples of character collaboration. However, with the influx of these games in the past decade, one has to wonder if they have lost their appeal.

With two successful test phases now under its belt, it’s safe to say that Marvel Rivals is going to be a game that completely redefines the hero-shooter genre and clamps down titans such as Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends.

One of the biggest reasons behind Marvel Rivals‘ success is its extensive and relatively well-balanced roster of fan-favorite characters that gamers can’t get enough of! However, the game is still missing one of the best MCU villains, who could thoroughly shake the meta from the ground up if he makes it to the game.

Disney is set to invest at least $5 billion in production across the U.K. and continental Europe over the next five years, according to Jan Koeppen, the company’s European chief.
Koeppen, who oversees Disney’s operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, expressed optimism about the continued viability of superhero films. “[The genre] seems to have a lot of life left,” he told the Financial Times, reflecting on the success of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The film, produced at the U.K.’s Pinewood Studios, has already raked in $903 million globally, setting a new record for R-rated film openings.
“We feel like we’re really on a roll again with movies, which is fantastic. I’ve been positive about people going to the movies again, and especially enjoying our movies,” Koeppen added.
The U.K. has been a significant production hub for Disney, with the company having spent approximately $3.5 billion there over the past five years.

Although not everyone has had the chance to play it yet, there are already several suggestions from the community regarding the Marvel Rivals characters. This new PvP title, very similar to what Overwatch once offered, brings the entire Marvel universe in a completely different way.
It seems that NetEase Games forgot to include a type of character that would fit well with the experience. Fans are requesting the inclusion of a speedster in the roster that would significantly alter the matches. However, many superhero games in the past have struggled to adapt this type of power.

In an industry where hero shooters are all the rage, Marvel Rivals is carving a niche for itself due to the poor reception of Overwatch 2. Blizzard’s sequel to their hit 2016 release has not gone down well with the fans, resulting in the top position being up for grabs.
NetEase Games’ upcoming title was made available to some gamers during the recent open beta. Since then, they have been speculating what the full game could offer, and some believe it could come for Overwatch’s head.
Marvel Rivals Could Ship with One Mode Intended to Be a Big Draw for Overwatch 2
In its current form, Blizzard’s game is a standard PvP shooter. But this wasn’t always the case, as the studio had planned to develop some PvE content. But a missed opportunity from Blizzard could be exactly what Marvel Rivals needs to cement its foothold.

Marvel Rivals features iconic heroes and villains from the Marvel universe. It is a treat to see various characters together in the field, especially to give players the chance to get creative and fuse different attacks for maximum carnage.
It is always fun to see Earth’s Mightiest Heroes fighting side by side and working together as a team. Fighting against the forces of evil can be tough and heroes will find a way to win by building each other up for success like giving them a power boost.

Marvel Rivals is an upcoming online multiplayer game featuring fan-favorite heroes and villains of the Marvel brand. The gaming community has been waiting for an ambitious project of this caliber and the developers have no intention of dropping the ball after a successful closed beta run.

Similar to No Way Home, bringing back past Marvel icons has worked out extremely well for Deadpool & Wolverine, which is in line to become one of the biggest 2024 releases. It appears that Sony is also inching towards this approach for its upcoming release, Venom: The Last Dance.
While Venom‘s success at the box office back in 2018 gave Sony the perfect platform to build their Spider-Man cinematic universe, things haven’t gone quite their way since then. With the sequel to the 2018 movie being the lone exception, it seems Sony is also following in the Ryan Reynolds-led film’s footsteps to reignite the spark in the Sony Cinematic Universe.

Marvel Rivals‘ first official gameplay received an overwhelming positive response. The studio behind it, NetEase Games, took the opportunity to continue promoting the beta and secure more players once it officially launches.
Among the users who had the chance to try it, one of the most praised features is that the Marvel Rivals skins look truly incredible. One such example is the Thor skin. Unfortunately, players won’t be able to keep these outfits they have acquired since the beta is ending, and the game still doesn’t have a confirmed release date.
Players Regret That the Marvel Rivals Skins Will Be Lost After the Beta
The game quickly caught the attention of many fans due to its spectacular visual style. Marvel Rivals has already confirmed its release across all platforms, and following two betas where players tested the various mechanics. All signs point to a, hopefully, successful launch.

With each new release that demands high visual performance, the lack of power of the Xbox Series S becomes more evident. This has happened in games such as Baldur’s Gate 3 and even the recent Hellblade 2. It appears that the highly anticipated title Marvel Rivals will also suffer from the platform’s lack of power.
According to new reports, Microsoft’s second console is unable to make the game run above 540p. This is further proof that Unreal Engine 5 and this type of console do not work well together when it comes to running a game stably.

Marvel Rivals is known for its exciting roster of characters filled with popular Marvel characters, each bringing their own unique flair to the game. But occasionally, and rather rarely, there have been some niche characters like the recently revealed Jeff the Land Shark.
While fans eagerly anticipate new beloved additions, less-popular and weird superheroes might not make the cut. From quirky personalities to unconventional powers, these heroes could add a fresh twist to the roster. But, for various reasons, they might remain on the sidelines.

Squirrel Girl is a fan favorite due to her quirky nature and surprising powers. Despite her quirky appearance and powers that involve communicating with squirrels, she’s proven to be a formidable superhero in various Marvel storylines and comics.
Her unusual abilities might not align well with the combat style of the game.

The number of Marvel Universe characters is vast and ever-expanding as new superheroes are introduced, Nevertheless, it is safe to say that hundreds are the most popular coming from different franchises and mediums. The latest third-person hero shooter Marvel Rivals will introduce only a handful upon launch until it grows into something unlike seen before.
While the developers are sure to bring some of the most familiar faces of the universe, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and many more, there are poster boys and girls that, despite their popularity, shouldn’t be introduced into the game for reasons aplenty.
Marvel Rivals Doesn’t Need These 5 Overused Marvel Heroes
Marvel Rivals is set to take over the hero-shooter extravaganza once it is released. Overwatch was a hit in 2016 and the upcoming title from NetEase builds upon a similar formula with the addition of popular superheroes.

In the world of game development, player feedback is crucial. But sometimes, a survey question comes along that makes you wonder if the developers have been living under a rock. Enter NetEase Games and their recent survey for Marvel Rivals closed beta players.

Riot Games has released the patch notes for League of Legends: Wild Rift version 5.2a, introducing significant changes to the mobile Moba. The update, set to roll out from August 1st to August 14th Utc, brings a new game mode alongside various champion and item balancing adjustments.
This patch aims to address several balance issues while also presenting fresh content to keep players engaged.
Hextech Aram: Hexfication in the Howling Abyss
The most notable addition in patch 5.2a is Hextech Aram, scheduled to launch on August 9th. This new mode combines the All Random All Mid (Aram) mode’s randomized champion selection with the augment system similar to that seen in Arena mode.
Hextech Aram will allow players to enhance their champions with various augments as the match progresses, adding an extra layer of strategy and unpredictability to the already chaotic Aram format. This feature is likely to refresh the...

Elden Ring can be an excruciatingly painful game for those who are new to FromSoftware’s game design elements. Especially if the player isn’t acquainted with how things usually work in a game like this.
However, much of this journey can be simplified thanks to the existence of Summons. These are NPCs players can call upon for much-needed assistance, and they can be earned through exploration and quests in the game.
The Elden Ring Community Is Still Deciding Which Is the Best Summon
While the list below is an objective take on some of the best Spirit Ashes found in Elden Ring, much of it relies on your playstyle and how you choose to summon an ally in battle.
SUGGESTEDMarvel Rivals Beta 5 Best Characters
Some prefer a tanky companion who can take a lot of damage. Others prefer an Elden Ring summon that can distract enemies while the Tarnished deals most of the damage.

Exclusive: Sally Wainwright’s Renegade Nell will not make it past a first season on Disney+.
The series about a quick-witted outlaw in 18th century England, which was the storied British scribe’s first for a streamer, launched several months back. We are told it hasn’t reached the threshold for a Disney+ renewal based on several metrics. Cast, creatives and production staff at the show’s producer Lookout Point have been told.
Renegade Nell was unveiled three years ago with fanfare and was one of the highest profile series to be commissioned out of Disney+’s UK office.
Starring Derry Girls’ Louisa Harland, the show followed the eponymous Nell, who finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most notorious outlaw in England. But when a magical spirit called Billy Blind appears, Nell realizes her destiny is bigger than she ever imagined. Cast also included Adrian Lester, Nick Mohammed and Joely Richardson.

The upcoming multiplayer first-person shooter from NetEase Games, Marvel Rivals, has been winning players. The game allows players to play as iconic Marvel heroes and villains and players have loved what they’ve seen so far.
While the game’s launch is still away, the beta tests have received positive response. This has made Overwatch fans think how the game could have been much more than it is currently if only Activision Blizzard had not killed it.
Overwatch Fans Are Still Mourning the Loss of Story Mode
Overwatch 2 is developed by Blizzard Entertainment and launched with story missions and were initially revealed during the sequel’s announcement. Fans were elated to know about this and expected for it to continue for long, taking the story of the hero shooter further.

Marvel Rivals is an upcoming online multiplayer game that features iconic superheroes and villains from the Marvel brand. This ambitious new project will pique the interest of hardcore fans to play this game with and against their friends with the competitive nature that the game developers had in mind.
The game industry has realized the superhero genre’s potential after the massive success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Hollywood, and it is time for the genre to be embraced in this interactive format. Some fans are already begging the developers to include the leads of the most recent film.

With the much anticipated closed beta test for Marvel Rivals finally here, players are super excited to participate in it but first, they need to collect the key for it. To gain the test server access, players must watch specified Twitch streams and collect the codes.
However, players are not happy with this method as it is very lengthy, and due to server issues, they are not able to even pass the captcha test. This has made players very angry as they have to redo the process multiple times.
Players Want NetEase to Change the Beta Access Method for Marvel Rivals

If you’ve been a long-time fan of online team-based shooters, you’ve likely heard about the upcoming title Marvel Rivals. The game’s uncanny similarities to Overwatch haven’t gone unnoticed, and fans are starting to make serious comparisons.
These common grounds are being celebrated by fans of both the games, as Overwatch’s current state may just force players to switch to NetEase Games’ title instead.
Overwatch Players Are Considering Switching to Marvel Rivals
Just like Overwatch, NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals is a PvP title that centers around team-based combat based on iconic characters from the Marvel universe. Each character has a unique set of abilities and plays differently.

Robert Downey Jr. is a prolific actor renowned for his time with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and for pioneering the growth of the superhero genre. Oppenheimer gave the actor the performance he needed to win him an Oscar and is heading back to his roots for the next exciting chapter of the Multiverse Saga.
The entertainment industry is now tethered after the lines between live-action movies and video games started to blur. Members of the gaming community are hardcore fans of the films and have realistically measured their expectations for the upcoming project from Motive Studio and Electronic Arts.

Marvel Rivals could only be the start of a new era of video games based on the beloved characters of the Marvel brand. The developers unveiled a revamped logo during San Diego Comic-Con and it has given the gaming community a breath of fresh air that a new age is dawning for superhero games.
There have been a handful of superhero games made in recent years. Some were forgettable and most are universally praised for bringing the superhero experience in a much more interactive and immersive way compared to the live-action adaptation counterparts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Cosmetics in games like Overwatch 2, Call of Duty, and Fortnite are a great way for the studio to make a consistent form of revenue. Players can kit out their favorite characters in a unique skin, often those with limited availability.
Overwatch skins are a feature many in the community like to indulge in, and Blizzard does come out with some eye-catching appearances. However, the latest one released for Reinhardt has drawn much flak from the community.
New Reinhardt Mythic Skin in Overwatch 2 Irks Player Sentiments
Gamers are not averse to paying a little extra to acquire some cool cosmetics. This is especially true for online titles. However, when you can buy an entire game for the amount it would take to purchase a cosmetic item, things start to look a bit off. That’s the case with the new Reinhardt Bound Demon skin for Overwatch 2, and it’s getting a decent amount of backlash.

Marvel Rivals, the upcoming online multiplayer game where players can select their favorite Marvel heroes and villains to fight against their opponents. The game is being made similarly to other competitive multiplayer games like Overwatch and fans have noticed something peculiar.
NetEase Games is no stranger to online multiplayer games but this is by far the most ambitious project from the studio. Open beta tests were held and a handful of players got to try the game before launch and noticed some details about one character that could be adjusted before launch.

Over 9 years have passed since Blizzard released the first Overwatch, which at the time became an absolute success, mixing first-person action with the Moba genre. Unfortunately, fans have noticed that over the years, the studio has failed to add new, intriguing content.
Players can’t help but make comparisons with the imminent release of the much-anticipated Marvel Rivals, and everything indicates that the title from the creators of Warcraft may have to make a better effort to improve certain aspects, such as character presentation.

When Blizzard launched Overwatch in 2016, it immediately captivated an entire community of players who fell in love with the characters they created. At the time, the game was one of the most popular titles across all platforms, but the studio didn’t know how to keep players interested, and over time, it lost many users.

The hype train for Marvel Rivals continues to pick up steam as fans eagerly await the chance to get hands-on with the game’s extensive roster of Marvel heroes, anti-heroes, and supervillains. With the closed beta just around the corner, speculation is running rampant about what the first meta of the game could look like.
The recent character reveal trailer for Adam Warlock, a Strategist (read: Support) Hero set to join the upcoming hero shooter’s roster in the upcoming beta, has sparked speculation about the game’s first meta and the potential synergy that could very well shake things up.
Adam Warlock’s Ultimate: A Game-Changer?
The speculation centers around Adam Warlock’s Ultimate (Q) ability, rumored to be named “Karmic Revival.” This ability seems to take a page out of Overwatch‘s playbook—specifically the initial version of Mercy’s “Resurrect”—allowing Warlock to bring multiple fallen teammates...

Marvel Rivals, the hero shooter by NetEase, isn’t having a smooth transition from its alpha to the first beta test. Many players have found themselves unable to log into the game with Steam giving them a message that says the product code was revoked by the publisher.
While it would be pretty funny, this has nothing to do with the recent CrowdStrike outage. Just a case of mistakes within the game’s management. Many players who passed the required level 10 during the Closed Alpha found their access revoked.
Marvel Rivals Beta Players Are Facing This One Big Problem
The confusion mainly came from miscommunications about the level requirements. Players who participated in the closed alpha test of the game and had reached the required account level of 10 found their access to the Marvel Rivals beta revoked.

Live-service games like the upcoming Marvel Rivals the popular Apex Legends, and Fortnite, have many things in common, but their ever-evolving state is arguably one of the most important factors. This can be both a good and bad thing.
Even before the Marvel game has had a chance to come out and be judged by the public, however, one Redditor expressed extreme worries that it’ll be plagued by the same issue that other games in the category supposedly had.

As the hype for NetEase Games’ upcoming “superhero team-based PvP shooter” Marvel Rivals reaches a fever pitch, fans are already dreaming up more ways to immerse themselves in the game’s unique universe.
While the promise of epic multiplayer battles has everyone excited, there’s one thing that could take Marvel Rivals from a hit game to a true multimedia sensation: a tie-in comic series.
The Power of Tie-Ins
The idea of a Marvel Rivals comic might seem like a no-brainer, but it’s worth looking at the success stories that have come before. DC‘s Injustice series, which expanded upon the lore of the fighting game franchise, was a massive hit with fans, offering a glimpse into the characters’ motivations and the events that shaped the game’s alternate universe.
