Marvel Rivals Officially Confirmed for PS5, Closed Beta Test in July | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

NetEase has now confirmed Marvel Rivals is heading to PS5. In case you aren't aware, this is a multiplayer shooter featuring various Marvel heroes and villains, and you'll soon be able to play it on Sony's console.

You can see the game in action in the above trailer, which also confirms a few other things. Firstly, two new characters are unveiled here — Venom and Adam Warlock. Additionally, Marvel Rivals is getting a closed beta test on PS5 in July, so it really won't be very long before you can take it for a spin.

The game has two teams of six going against each other in this PvP shooter. Players can choose whichever class and hero they want, and certain characters will have special team-up abilities, so there's some strategy there in figuring out your team's composition.

There's plenty more detail over on the PS Blog if you want to learn more about the game. If you're interested in playing the closed beta, sign-ups will open up on the game's website nearer the time.

Is there a way to register for the closed beta?

This game looks totally uninteresting. If I were going to play an online PVP game, I think I'd choose Concord over this, assuming Concord is better than Overwatch, which is admittedly a low bar to clear.

Didn't know there was a strong desire to play Overwatch without having to play Overwatch
