Final month, Marvel Video games and NetEase Video games introduced Marvel Rivals, a brand new 6v6 aggressive shooter that includes well-known heroes and villains with some inter-dimensional shenanigans. Although it introduced Asgard as one of many maps, it’s Yggsgard, a fusion of Asgard and the Yggdrasill, the World Tree as a result of “Timestream Entanglement.” Test it out under within the first map teaser.
Loki, Thor’s brother and on/off nemesis, took it upon himself to construct Yggsgard as a brand new kingdom and rule (with some work teasing an alliance with Surtr). Regardless, the areas look beautiful, with curved hallways, open areas and even a statue of Loki. Yggdrasill looms over the atmosphere at one level whereas the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf, the place the Asgardian Royal Household resides, can be seen.
Marvel Rivals doesn’t have a launch date, however its closed alpha goes stay in Might for PC gamers, with over a dozen playable characters. So far, Spider-Man, Magneto, Magik and Black Panther are confirmed. Keep tuned for extra particulars on the alpha and full launch.
