Marvel Rivals Trailer Showcases Venom’s Ravenous Skillset

NetEase Games is set to introduce a fresh trailer for Marvel Rivals prior to its impending closed beta. It unveils one of the two latest characters that players can control - Venom. Due to the occurrence of the Timestream Entanglement event, the symbiote, fused with Eddie Brock, has lost his past recollections. Concurrently, an "ancient entity" is believed to be reaching out from the Multiverse and Venom is expected to respond accordingly.

The character's engagement will involve partaking in 6v6 matches, facing other superheroes and opponents, while capturing strategic locations and escorting payloads. Being a Vanguard, Venom possesses abilities such as wall-swinging and crawling. Additionally, he can aggressively leap onto enemy groups and restrict their movements using tendrils, which also grants him shields.

If venom cannot manage to take down targets through close combat, he can submerge into the ground, increase his shields and reemerge for a massive attack. Certainly, this gameplay style offers more resilience compared to Spider-Man.

The closed beta launch for Marvel Rivals is slated for July 23rd, for gamers on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, and will feature cross-play functionality. Contestants stand an opportunity to secure a unique Venom attire, named Cyan Clash, which echoes his iconic appearance from Marvel Comics.
