I've never been so happy to be wrong: Marvel Rivals has turned Gambit into a Strategist that's focused on utility rather than just healing




I'll always be here asking for more heroes to be added to the roles of Strategist and Vanguard in Marvel Rivals. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of Duelist, but after adding more DPS heroes than tanks and healers combined to the initial game, NetEase has been playing catch-up to even out the spread between the roles a bit more...

Friendly Marvel Rivals meet-ups at Dr Strange's place have moved Netease to release a 100 player non-combat Times Square map


If I wanted to party anywhere in the Marvel universe, I'd be reserving my beanbags and buckets of lentil chips for Dr Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. It's a big posh wizard's mansion, full of shelves of worrisome books and glass cabinets housing all manner of mystical nonsense that would make for an easy conversation starter, and probably some mildly apocalyptic drunken high jinks.

Marvel Rivals is adding a 'non-combat map' where players can 'hang out, dance, watch videos, read books, and let your imagination run wild'




Marvel Rivals season 5 is set to go live on November 14, and yes, Gambit and Rogue—Mr. and Mrs. X, as Guangguang, aka creative director Guangyun Chen, describes them—are finally set to take their place in the lineup. But more interesting to me is the addition of a new map based on New York's Times Square, which will be a "non-combat map" where people can just hang out and be cool...

Marvel Rivals subtly teases the arrival of two X-Men in the background image of the latest patch notes




The queue to get into Marvel Rivals must be out the door by now, as it feels like NetEase teases a new pair of heroes every other day. But like clockwork, there are two more heroes ready to tussle for the next spot on the roster, as two new X-Men have been spotted in the patch notes...
