From a giant stand that recreated the shot from the reveal trailer of Venom looming in a dark alleyway with life-size statues of Peter and Miles to a panel with the cast and developers of the game in the convention center's biggest stage, Hall H . This panel gave players a look at the game's story - showing Martin Li's return for the first time alongside revealing Venom's identity as Harry Osborn in the game - and unveiled the limited edition Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 and DualSense controller designs, the latter of which I managed to get my hands on as soon as it became availa

While the promotion of Marvel Rivals makes sense considering the Closed Beta is happening now , the omission of Insomniac's Marvel Universe surprised me , especially as fans already know Marvel's Wolverine is in development - even if after nearly three years since its announcement trailer, fans haven't seen anything official from Insomniac regarding the title - and the New Game Plus update for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 accidentally revealed that story DLC was in the works and will focus on Janice Lincoln's version of Beet

Only two stages were available during Screen Rant 's time with Marvel Rivals , but during those matches, almost every attack proved capable of destroying walls and structures, sometimes dramatically changing the battlefield. Destructible cover points, bridges, and walls open up gameplay from both a strategic and presentation point of view, giving clever teams a chance to gain the upper hand with coordinated attacks. With a colorful cast of characters wielding a wide range of abilities, there will be many entertaining opportunities to take advantage of the game's malleable sta

Overwatch is going to scratch a very similar gameplay itch, just from a first-person perspective, but it is not going to fulfill any superhero desires. That being said, Overwatch does have a roster of well-drawn characters and gameplay that's been well-refined over the ye

This team-up is highly effective as it can be used in both a defensive and offensive capacity, where the spikes can prevent enemies from coming too close, and you can attack by use of its explosive spikes to disrupt enemy formations.

One of the most competitive hero shooters out there, Valorant takes a lot of pages out of Counter-Strike's book, while taking just a couple out of Overwatch's. It's got a ton of characters, all that fit within certain distinct roles, and an economy system that gives you currency between rounds based on your performance and removes your items when you

Of course, it's possible that Insomniac may have changed its plans and may be holding back as a result of the cyberattack the studio faced last year . As a result, a hacker group shared details including all of the plans for Marvel's Wolverine , including footage, game files - which have been made playable by some in the community - a teaser trailer for the game, and the studio's pipeline of games, showing the future of its Marvel Universe. It wouldn't be surprising if, as a result, Sony and Insomniac took a step back, firstly, to recover from the personal toll of the hack, which also leaked documents about the staff at Insomniac, but then also to rework its marketing strategy to ensure that there are still plenty of surprises outside of the content people may have seen onl
