Superhero team-ups are always well worth a look, and when the action crosses over to the gaming space, it’s even more exciting, and that’s what Marvel Games and NetEase Games are banking on with the team-based PvP shooter, Marvel Rivals. With the December 6 launch approaching fast, a new launch trailer has now arrived, featuring Chrissy Constanza.
The launch trailer features renowned rock vocalist Costanza, performing the theme song Rivals ‘Til the End. Best known as the powerhouse frontwoman of the band Against The Current and for her iconic gaming anthems like Legends Never Die and Phoenix, her career seamlessly bridges the worlds of gaming and music. The official video game soundtrack for Marvel Rivals, Galactic Tunes, launches on streaming platforms the same day as the game, with limited vinyl now available for pre-order on Mutant.
Alongside the launch trailer, we also got more details on a brand new map on Klyntar. The Symbiotic Surface map sees the awakening Knull csating a shadow over the Panther God Bast. In response, Shuri sends the Guardians of the Galaxy to Klyntar to seek out a solution to this looming threat. After the Milano crashes on Klyntar, the Guardians bump into Venom.
The two sides have different opinions on how to defeat Knull: Venom, having extracted the Knull Essence from a controlled symbiote, argues for caution due to its volatile nature and the risk of harming the planet’s symbiotes. With Knull still dormant, Venom prefers to wait until they can harness this power safely. On the other hand, the Guardians, tasked by Shuri, are eager to immediately neutralize Knull’s influence over the gods including Bast. At an impasse, they decide to go their separate ways.
