More character reveals for Marvel Rivals are here with new looks at the teased ones we have just before Marvel Rivals launches
We all knew this week was going to be massive for Marvel Rivals with the game hitting the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC this week. Hells, the PC gamers can start the pre-load of the game as you are reading these words. That has not stopped NetEase Games from slowing down the updates for the game and now we have three, technically four, new characters to look at in a fuller form. All of which have been teased in other videos this week for Marvel Rivals but now we get to see them doing what they do best out there. We are talking about Black Widow, Cloak, Dagger, and Wolverine. Some big names that we thought we would have seen well before the launch but I guess they might have been saving the best for last.
Diving right into it all, for those who did not just jump down to look at the new Marvel Rivals videos, we have a new sniper character with Black Widow. It’s not a huge surprise given the character and that she will be working from a distance more than anything. Then we have Cloak & Dagger, technically two characters but in Marvel Rivals they are one that shares the same space. An interesting twist for the gameplay as it looks like we will be able to shift between the two for various abilities and powers in the match. Even if it does look as if they are sharing a single health bar. They have to be balanced out a bit while keeping all of the other players on their toes out there. An interesting way to go about it with these characters for sure.

Now entangled together, this duo must balance each of their phenomenal powers to save their allies and one another.
Forced to share the same physical space to survive, Cloak & Dagger must learn to fight as one, combining their powers in ways they’ve never had to before.
Draw upon shadow and light as Cloak & Dagger in Marvel Rivals on December 6th!
Lastly, and definitely not least, we have a better look at our wolverine in Marvel Rivals. One that has garnered some ire from the internet for the look of the character but still looks like he will house all of the rage and abilities we have grown to expect. Including the Berserker Rage and Fastball Special attacks when paired up correctly. It does look as if the team behind Marvel Rivals knew there might be some issues with the character’s look out there, so there is news that a skin based on the Deadpool & Wolverine version of the character will be in the game to unlock. That one looks vastly closer to a comic-accurate costume, even if the character height is still going to be further away from all of that still.
Marvel Rivals — Character Reveal: Wolverine
Logan was born with the gift of razor-sharp claws and a powerful healing ability that allowed him to live for centuries. However, when the secretive government organization, Weapon X, shaped him through unspeakable pain and horrific experimentation, his humanity was forfeited to evolve him into an animalistic instrument of destruction. Now, having risen above his trauma, the Wolverine fights for what’s right, defending both Mutants and humanity.
His world has become even more chaotic when the Timestream Entanglement began erasing entire realities. Now, Logan divides his time battling Doom 2099 and helping guide time-lost Mutants to safety on the island of Krakoa.
