Marvel Rivals Could Finally Be the Game for One X-Men Character to Shine
Marvel Rivals is sure to cover a wide spread of characters in its roster and one prominent X-Men icon could be right up its alley regarding gameplay.
Reddit user Noblu8 recently shared a screenshot of IGN’s Marvel Rivals Moon Knight reveal gameplay. This screenshot shows a small image of Hawkeye in the game’s kill feed after he’s seemingly defeated by the Winter Soldier. The kill feed is similar to the one in Overwatch 2, which indicates which character defeated another, with account names alongside their images. According to the kill feed, the Winter Soldier who killed Hawkeye is defeated by a punch from the Incredible Hulk. While it’s hard to distinguish which specific Hawkeye Marvel Rivals features based on this screenshot, the small image strongly resembles the bow-wielding hero.
Marvel Rivals’ Moon Knight Reveal May Have Spoiled the Next Character
Although it may have been an accident to include Hawkeye in the Moon Knight’s gameplay footage, one detail may indicate that it was intentional. The account name belonging to Hawkeye in the Moon Knight gameplay was used for Moon Knight during Marvel Rivals‘ Psylocke showcase. This could suggest that Marvel Rivals is including future heroes and villains in their reveals for eagle-eyed fans to discover. The subsequent speculation could draw more attention to the game ahead of its release, which could boost interest in it. Hawkeye has increased in popularity over the years with the character’s presence in the Avengers movies and his Disney Plus series.
While this Moon Knight gameplay is official, Hawkeye’s addition to Marvel Rivals‘ roster should be taken with a grain of salt. New characters are typically tested before they’re released, so it may be a while before Hawkeye is added to the game despite his inclusion. Because the game hasn’t been released yet, changes could occur between now and December 6.
