Exploring All Game Modes in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals has officially launched, inviting players to step into a thrilling world filled with both cherished heroes and notorious villains from the Marvel universe. This action-packed title, developed by Netease, presents an engaging alternative to Overwatch by showcasing a diverse roster of Marvel characters in a captivating hero shooter format.

This exciting 6v6 third-person shooter challenges teams to compete across a variety of dynamic game modes. Following the immense popularity of Season 0, anticipation grows for what Season 1 has in store, promising new characters, innovative maps, and a wealth of additional content.

Overview of Game Modes

Marvel Rivals features four primary game modes, each offering a unique gameplay experience. Here’s a detailed exploration of each mode:

Domination

In the Domination mode, teams vie for control of a designated point on a compact map. The objective is straightforward: the team that claims the point must defend it until their control meter reaches 100%. Once a point is secured, gameplay shifts to another small map where the challenge is repeated. Victory is claimed by the first team to successfully capture two points.

The maps utilized in this mode include:

Royal Palace (Yggsgard)
Birnin T’Challa (Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda)
Hell’s Heaven (Hydra Charteris Base)

Convoy

In this mode, teams are randomly assigned to either offense or defense roles at the start of each match. The offensive team must escort a moving objective to the end of the map, while the defenders aim to thwart their progress. Success hinges on teamwork and strategy, as the convoy must be protected at all costs.

Convoy maps are:

Yggdrasill Path (Yggsgard)
Spider-Islands (Tokyo 2099)
Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown

Convergence

Convergence begins with teams receiving offense or defense designations. The offensive team must secure the first checkpoint on the map by remaining within the area, while defenders work to prevent their adversaries from achieving this goal. Success for the offense is measured by capturing three checkpoints before time runs out.

The maps in Convergence include:

Shin-Shibuya (Tokyo 2099)
Hall of Djalia (Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda)
Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface

The goal is to outperform members of the opposing faction, with the top 50% of players deemed victorious by the end of the match, irrespective of faction allegiance. This mode adds a competitive edge to the gameplay experience.
