Marvel Rivals Reveals Psylocke and Hints at New Iconic Hero Addition

<p>As revealed in the latest character trailer for Psylocke, an iconic Marvel hero is on the way to join the Marvel Rivals roster. Here’s everything we know about this exciting announcement.

Marvel Rivals has unveiled another clip featuring the newly introduced character Psylocke. She enters the expansive roster as an interdimensional warrior, equipped with teleportation and invisibility abilities. The teaser showcases her psionic energy, known as Sai, which allows her to create diverse weaponry and aids her navigation throughout the Rivals universe.

Psylocke was highly anticipated among Alpha and Beta playtesters, partly due to her signature Pink Butterflies and her legacy in classic video games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Now that NetEase has confirmed her arrival as a Duelist at launch, the trailer concludes with a teaser of another legendary character joining Psylocke.

As the trailer unfolds, viewers catch a glimpse of a wings-like shadow against a full moon, suggesting that the hero in question is indeed Moon Knight, who is often portrayed as cursed with the powers of the Egyptian God of Vengeance, Khonshu.

The shadow represents the hero’s iconic cape, which he reveals as he swoops down in his full outfit. Although NetEase hasn’t officially confirmed Moon Knight’s presence in the game, the visual cues have fueled speculation among fans, heightening their anticipation.

Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement, with one saying: “My goat. Goodbye, Overwatch this is farewell.” Another commented: “Moon Knight is gonna be so much fun.” A third fan eagerly stated: “I will do anything to play as Moon Knight in this game.”

The buzz surrounding Moon Knight is largely due to the acclaimed 2022 Disney+ miniseries of the same name, which provided insight into the character’s origins and showcased Oscar Isaac’s portrayal of Marc Spector as he navigated his multiple personalities.

Given that Moon Knight’s moveset and abilities were leaked during the Closed Alpha by data miners, players are hopeful to see these abilities integrated into the game, establishing the character as a formidable addition to the already impressive roster of Rivals.
