Marvel Rivals is launching this evening, and is available to preload on Steam now. When players finally get into the game, they'll be greeted with the first battle pass, and some cosmetics for the 33 heroes which, all things considered, aren't that ridiculously priced.
"Marvel Rivals is free to download, and heroes, maps, and other gameplay elements are completely free," a Marvel Rivals blog post says. "We will be charging for cosmetics that will provide only visual changes, with no stat bonuses or pay-to-win elements. The team has poured immense effort into designing and crafting these in-game cosmetics, many of which draw inspiration from Marvel's iconic comics, films, and other works. These items are not only a tribute to Marvel’s artistic legacy but also a way for us to reinterpret and capture different facets of the Marvel universe."
