Overwatch 2? What Overwatch 2? I think you’re looking for Marvel Rivals, the upcoming free-to-play hero shooter.
Marvel and NetEase have just revealed the first trailer for Marvel Rivals, a game that is so obviously just meant to be Overwatch but with your favourite comic book characters instead. Much like how Overwatch used to work, Marvel Rivals is a team-based, 6v6 shooter, described as having “thrilling, fast-paced, cooperative gameplay,” with a “deep” roster – that includes your classic like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Hulk, as well as newer characters like Peni Parker and Magik.
What seems to be the big thing that sets it apart from Overwatch are the team-up abilities. Take Rocket Racoon and Groot for example: they have a unique team-up where Rocket can hop up on Groot’s back and cause havoc together. And of course there’s a variety of abilities unique to each character, and ultimates for some more explosive power too.

It’s always exciting to see how the speedrunning community tackles new games and challenges.
