The Marvel Rivals Closed Alpha is coming in just a few days and developers have given us some exciting insight into what participants can experience. Here is what will be in the Closed Alpha on May 10.
Marvels Rivals will have five different game modes and a tournament for Closed Alpha participants.
Wrote NetEase developers: “Since we announced Marvel Rivals just over a month ago, hundreds of thousands of players worldwide have signed up for our Closed Alpha Test (CAT) and our Discord community has crossed the 100K mark! The overwhelming enthusiasm for Marvel and hero shooters from all corners of the globe has blown away our expectations. We’re honored and fired up by all your support and encouragement!”
In a blog post about the Closed Alpha, developers shared a quick overview of the five game modes that will be in Marvel Rivals’ Closed Alpha test:
On top of the five game modes, there will be a 6v6 tournament with real cash on the line to get the hype going. There will be a prize pool of $22,500 and the top 32 teams will also get an exclusive in-game title, Dawn of Legends.
This will get players excited for the competitive side of Marvel Rivals, which is already being accused of being an Overwatch 2 ripoff. Despite the closeness of the two games, gamers are warmly welcoming Marvel Rivals for its superhero spin on a shooter.
Also, Marvel Rivals still has six players per team while OW2 has the unpopular one-tank, five player team change. But it’s still unclear if Marvel Rivals has similar roles or role lock.
Since the Marvel Rivals Closed Alpha is, well, closed, it’s not open to everyone. But developers are opening up to new players with extra invite codes as the Closed Alpha test grows closer. You can take part in the Closed Alpha if friends with access invite you. You may also have a chance if you watch a content creator taking part in the Closed Alpha program and get an invite code as a reward during their stream.
