Blizzard Entertainment’s former boss has chimed in on hero-shooting newbieMarvel Rivalsand implied it’s an Overwatch copycat.
“Looks like Overwatch Marvel Rivals ships tomorrow.
“I mean even the character name - Widowmaker in OW vs. Black Widow in Marvel Rivals lol.
NetEase/TenCent - all the same.”
Marvel Rivals has, of course, been compared to genre kingpin Overwatch for months now.
In fairness, Marvel Rivals is trying to differentiate itself in some other ways.
Most obviously, it’s a third-person shooter.
Matches are also 6v6 affairs, as opposed to Overwatch 2’s current 5v5 rounds.
We’ll see how it all shakes out in the seasons ahead, though.
