Two separate leaks have confirmed all the characters in the free-to-play Marvel Rivals, plus all their abilities and five in-game locations.
After some information about the third person shooter leaked early, NetEase announced Marvel Rivals at the end of March as a 6v6 free-to-play game, that basically looks like Overwatch with superheroes,
A closed alpha was planned for May, and dataminers have now got hold of lots of new information about the characters and the game’s locations from that build.
One datamine has identified 19 unannounced, playable superheroes and five locations with maps. While another leak has found almost all the abilities that the characters can use.
We already knew that Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Storm, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, The Punisher, and more would be playable characters in Marvel Rivals.
A datamine, however, has revealed a host of new superheroes, such as Thor, Blade, Venom, Wolverine, Hawkeye, The Thing, Psylocke, and Invisible Woman.
Even GameCentral favourite Squirrel Girl has made the cut, alongside Iron Fist (Lin Lie), Mr Fantastic, Jeff the Landshark, and Cloak and Dagger.
The datamine, by Miller Ross on Twitter, also found five locations, with their own maps, which are: Hydra Erebus Base, The Intergalactic Empire Of Wakanda, Klyntar, Empire of Eternal Night, and Krakoa.
All of which will be familiar to comic book fans, even if some of them haven’t featured in any live action movies.
Leaker iFireMonkey has posted footage on social media, showing the abilities most of the playable characters can use in the game, such as the iconic Hulk Smash, Storm’s Omega Hurricane, and Iron Man’s Unibeam.
We can’t show them here for legal reasons but they’re not difficult to find if you’re interested.

The footage doesn’t include the abilities of every character, however, as the leaker says the servers are down, which could mean it’ll be difficult to get more information for now.
However, the most important thing now is a public beta, so that everyone can get a chance to decide whether this is just an inferior Overwatch clone or something that can do justice to the might of the unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
