Marvel Rivals' launch is almost upon us, and while the roster of heroes we'll get on day one might be rather densely packed with DPS characters, the devs have teased that the other roles will be getting new additions relatively soon, too.
When NetEase Games' third-person hero shooter goes live, players will be able to use 33 different heroes plucked from the Marvel universe, but despite the wide variety of characters, their actual in-game roles aren't quite so diverse. Unlike hero shooters like Overwatch which have traditional DPS, Tank, and Support roles, Marvel Rivals is introducing Duelist, Vanguard, and Strategists, which won't just match this classic trio of roles, but in basic terms, they're sort of equivalent. Either way, one role already has way more options than the others – there are currently six known Strategists, eight known Vanguards, and 17 known Duelists (two characters are still yet to be properly revealed).
