Marvel Rivalsfinally parted the curtain on Moon Knight with a lengthy gameplay breakdown that showcases his various abilities, butthere might be more to the footage than meets the eye. Marc Spector is one of the most anticipated characters joining the upcoming hero-shooter and it’s exciting to see him in action as he seems to be a decent pick for those looking at dealing with multiple enemies at once. He may not sport the raw power of The Hulk, but his gadgets give him an edge, much like another unannounced hero.
Per IGN onYouTube, theMarvel Rivalstrailer for Moon Knight shows off his powers buteagle-eyed fans think they’ve spotted evidence of a new character: Hawkeye.
As pointed out by Oowops, at the 2:49 markClink Barton’s face seemingly appears in the killfeed in the upper right corner of the UI. It can be difficult to make out but the character’s blond hair, purple face mask, and hood have the community speculating that Hawkeye is the next character to be unveiled; Of course, this should all be taken with a grain of salt until there’s an official reveal.
Hawkeye In Marvel Rivals Makes Sense
Why Wouldn’t Clint Barton Get The Nod?
Given the depth ofMarvel Rivals' launch roster, it’s surprising thatHawkeye hasn’t been shown off earlier. While it’s not confirmed that the sharpshooter will make it into the game,his abilities with a bow (and most other projectiles) make him an easy choice for a shooter, especially one with specific roles for players to assume.Much like Hanzo inOverwatch 2, it’s likely that Hawkeye players will stick to the background and dish out damage with some precise shots, requiring more aim than other, more aggressive positions.
As for Moon Knight,Marc Spector is expected to be a front-line damage dealeras his skill set is focused on dishing out damage to several enemies at once. He boasts the keyword “bounce” which allows his attacks to ricochet off enemies, potentially dealing multiple hits with a single Crescent Dart. His unique abilities also hard counter characters who can turn invisible,making him essential in certain situations.
10 Characters Marvel Rivals Must Include In Post-Launch Updates
Coming from a franchise with so many beloved characters, Marvel Rivals has at least 10 more unconfirmed heroes that should be added post-launch.
Marvel Rivals’s Roster In Impressive
Hopefully, It Can Stick The Landing
With the hero-shooter genre being somewhat overcrowded, I hopeMarvel Rivalscan make the impact it needs to find an audience.Early gameplay has received positive attentionfrom fans, especially for the character designs and artwork on display, but I also understand those calling the game derivative. It’s lifting plenty of ideas from its competitors soit will need to introduce some fresh concepts to justify its existence.
