Earlier today during D23 Brazil, Marvel Games and NetEase Games announced that Moon Knight will join the launch roster for Marvel Rivals next month. The character reveal trailer is embedded above while more details are included below:
Mercenary Marc Spector was given a second chance at life when he became the avatar of the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu. As Moon Knight, he doles out righteous vengeance, locked in a never-ending battle with both the criminals on the streets and the voices in his head. In Marvel Rivals, Moon Knight wields supernatural powers bestowed by Khonshu to vanquish his foes.
When crafting Moon Knight’s in-game persona, the development team incorporated a color scheme of white and black, drawing from the rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian mythology linked with Khonshu, and added “Egyptian Faience” material to his costume design, infusing Moon Knight’s appearance with a mystical and exotic allure. Departing from the traditional form-fitting suit seen in the comics, the team integrated technological components and rugged armor motifs into the character’s design. This enhances the visual impact while aligning with the game’s aesthetic, allowing Moon Knight’s aggressive combat style to seamlessly intertwine with the gameplay. Moon Knight can summon a portal above the battlefield, connecting him to the cosmos and summoning the formidable and enigmatic arms of Khonshu, rendering his enemies defenseless.
Koalition Co-Founder Gary Swaby previewed Marvel Rivals in August and believes this game could dominate the hero shooter market.
Marvel Rivals launches on December 6th for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and macOS. Stay tuned for more of our thoughts on the game and feel free to let us know if you’re looking forward to the game below.
