Mayor Wilson Fisk has declared martial law in Marvel's New York City, and so begins season seven of Marvel Rivals with a loud, boisterous bang.
NetEase Games revealed the first look at the new season of the superhero hero shooter today, confirming White Fox as the game's newest hero, along with teasing a new map set in New York, marking a return there for the first time since season one's vampire-themed maps.
The new cinematic dropped this morning shows the continuation of Rivals' seasonal storytelling, which now focuses again on NY and the heroes battling through the multiverse. The newest addition, master thief and Spider-Man friend-or-foe Black Cat is equal to the task. But so is White Fox.
"Forces from 2099's Nueva York have begun pouring into modern-day New York, turning the city into ground zero for their expansion," the story reads. "As a temporal plague spreads from the Alchemax Tower and martial law tightens across the city, Mayor Fisk is ready to do whatever it takes to restore order. But in darkness, those who navigate the shadows truly shine..."
As usual, Black Cat is busy doing her thief thing and trying to steal an important artifact. But in her way is White Fox, who's launching alongside the new update this week while Black Cat is coming in the midseason update in April.
In an interview with Destructoid last week, executive producer Danny Koo explained that "if a character is no longer fun, then we're not doing our job," so Black Cat and White Fox both have some big expectations moving forward into season seven and beyond.
Season seven of Marvel Rivals, "The Hunt is On," launches this Friday, March 20. More info about the new season will be revealed today and in the coming days ahead of the update.
