Marvel Rivals, NetEase's popular hero shooter for consoles and PC, is set to collaborate with several top Marvel mobile games. Marvel Puzzle Quest, Future Fight, and Snap are confirmed participants.
While details remain scarce, a significant crossover event is anticipated, launching January 3rd. An official Twitter announcement confirmed the collaboration, promising further information soon.
This isn't NetEase's first foray into Marvel's mobile landscape. Earlier this month, Marvel Snap featured a season spotlighting lesser-known Rivals characters like Galacta and Peni Parker.
A New Rival Emerges
While calling Marvel Rivals an "Overwatch killer" might be an overstatement, its success is undeniable. This crossover presents a unique opportunity to boost the popularity of Marvel's mobile titles, a reverse of the typical console/PC-to-mobile crossover dynamic.
The collaboration is particularly fitting given Luna Snow's journey. A key character in Marvel Rivals, she initially debuted in Marvel Future Fight before entering the comics. Given NetEase's recent holiday success, this crossover is expected to be substantial.
For Marvel fans seeking mobile gaming options, a curated list of the top eight Marvel mobile games is readily available.
