Marvel Rivalsseems to have anever-growing roster of heroes, with NetEase Games recently revealing Psylocke - and perhaps even Moon Knight, if a supposed teaser rings true.
The eternally expanding cast ofMarvel Rivals charactersis even bigger now thanks to the arrival of Psylocke, a stunning warrior with psionic abilities. She boasts a wide variety of weapons, from crossbows to shurikens, and some beautiful butterfly-themed visuals in-game. While Psylocke is undoubtedly an exciting addition, herreveal traileralso features a possible glimpse of another new hero - one previously uncovered in adatamine.
That hero is none other than Moon Knight, teased very briefly at the tail end of Psylocke’s big trailer. A moon can be seen in the video following an ad for the game’s release date, with a mysterious shadowy crescent-shaped figure appearing in front of it momentarily. This seems to all but confirm that Moon Knight is indeed joining the roster. So far, the leaks have proven to be accurate, too - even Psylocke herself was one of the predicted heroes.
From the looks of it, fans can’t wait to see both characters in action this December. The clip’s comments highlight as much: “Psylocke and Moon Knight? I’m so ready for this game!” One person commends NetEase for its sneaky teaser, saying that how the studio “casually revealed Moon Knight at the end” is “chef’s kiss.” Reactions range from curious to thrilled - but they all seem to share the same sentiment: “December can’t come soon enough.”
