Fariha Bhatti Published 09/05/2024

Marvel Rivals Closed Alpha is coming soon but that hasn’t stopped dataminers from leaking the remaining roster. 

Marvel Rivals, a 6v6 hero shooter inspired by Overwatch, was initially unveiled with a confirmed roster of 19 characters, including all the iconic heroes from the Marvel Universe. However, the leaked information has thrown in some unexpected names, adding a new layer of intrigue to the game’s release. 

According to the leak by Miller Ross on X, there are 20 more characters slated for the game’s official launch. This means Marvel Rivals will have a total of 39 characters over time. It’s unknown whether all of them will be available for the Closed Alpha, which goes live on May 10.
