Marvel Rivalsā latest trailer introduced Spider-Man from the upcoming free-to-play hero shooter game. The gameplay trailer showed off how Spider-Man can run on walls while also having the web-swinging abilities to provide agile gameplay movement, which might turn out to be particularly useful to evade incoming projectiles in Marvel Rivals.
For combat, Spider-Man will have web-based attacks as well as melee attacks for battles up close. You can also use the web to bring an enemy close to you to inflict damage. The trailer also revealed three outfits for Spider-Man including the classic Spider-Man suit for Peter Parker, the Spider Punk outfit, and the Bag-Man outfit.
Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced Spider-Man in Insomniacās Spider-Man games, is voicing Spidey again in Marvel Rivals. Lowenthal also voiced Spider-Man for Marvel’s Midnight Suns, the turn-based RPG game.
