Marvel Rivals reveals fan favorite mutant after months of speculation

As a seasoned gamer with decades of comic book-inspired gaming under my belt, I must admit that the revelation of Psylocke joining Marvel Rivals has sent waves of excitement coursing through my veins. Having grown up reading her tales of telepathy, telekinesis, and ninja skills in various X-Men titles, I’ve always dreamt of wielding her power in a game like this.


It’s been revealed in a clandestine manner by NetEase Games that they are introducing a new character to Marvel Rivals, a figure who has been eagerly anticipated by fans and is well-known as a cherished mutant in the comic books.

In approximately three months, Marvel Rivals is set to make its grand debut, captivating fans of comic books and competitive shooter games during its Alpha and Beta trials. At Gamescom 2024, NetEase showcased never-before-seen gameplay and introduced two new characters joining the launch roster: Captain America and Winter Soldier.

In the trailer for the Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands map, viewers spotted pink butterflies at the end, fueling speculation that Psylocke might become a playable character. This theory has now been validated by NetEase, who have officially announced Psylocke as a new addition to the game’s roster of characters.

During a Trivia game hosted on the official Discord server for Marvel Rivals, participants were invited to join in and respond to five questions about the latest character. Each question focused on her abilities and the lore from her comic book history.

Ultimately, once everyone had accurately answered all five queries, they were rewarded with a complimentary GIF sent via DM featuring an opening animation of Psylocke. The accompanying message read: “Bravo on finishing this trivia challenge! Let’s give a warm welcome to our latest hero: Psylocke!

Enthusiasts, overjoyed to discover their guesses correct, expressed their joy on social platforms. One user commented: “This is undoubtedly the finest Psylocke design I’ve encountered thus far.

1st person says: “It seems they modeled the design after Demon Days series. It looks awesome!

In the upcoming game, although details about Psylocke’s specific moves and special abilities are still under wraps, it’s been confirmed that her sword will significantly impact her offensive capabilities. Given her teleportation abilities and swift movement skills as depicted in the Marvel universe, we anticipate she would excel more in the Duelist role rather than Strategist or Vanguard positions.
