Marvel Rivals, the highly anticipated team-based PVP shooter, recently had its next playable character, Psylocke, leaked online ahead of schedule.
Scheduled for release later this year, Marvel Rivals stands out for its inclusion of iconic superheroes and villains, each with distinctive abilities and characteristics that faithfully honor the essence of the original Marvel characters.
Marvel Rivals will have a total of 25 playable characters characters available at launch
At debut, Marvel Rivals will feature 25 playable characters, including well-known heroes like Captain America, Black Panther, and Winter Soldier. The best thing is that it looks like players won’t need to buy or grind EXP points through microtransactions in order to acquire them.
Additionally, given the size of the Marvel universe, more characters and maps will probably be added to the Net Ease title in later updates.
The X-Men’s Psylocke is one intriguing figure that is said to be joining Marvel Rivals. A brief video posted on Twitter by leaker 404 Leak features Psylocke changing her appearance and leaving behind pink and purple butterflies before vanishing.
Previous Marvel Rivals leaks have hinted that Psylocke may eventually be playable, and this brief animation may be just what eager fans need to hear.
There’s still no confirmed release date for Psylocke
Psylocke’s release date is currently unknown, so fans of Marvel Rivals will have to wait for an official statement from Net Ease. Many of them have already stated that they can’t wait to play Psylocke when she’s free, though.
Many players also appreciated Psylocke’s makeover in Marvel Rivals, as she no longer wears her typical purple and black outfit in favor of ninja-inspired clothing. This aligns with Marvel Rivals’ other redesign choices as well, such as revamping Spider-Man’s appearance to give some parts a more striking appearance.
Strong mutant psychic and Otherworlder Psylocke is well-known for her use of telepathy, telekinesis, and psionic weapons in combat.
She is frequently seen wielding a katana or psionic sword in Marvel culture, but she wasn’t formally recognized as a ninja until she exchanged bodies with Kwannon, an assassin from The Hand, in the Uncanny X-Men comic book series. It’s probable that Uncanny X-Men’s Psylocke served as inspiration for Marvel Rivals’ portrayal of the mutant.
Given her offensive prowess, Psylocke might potentially be categorized as a Duelist in Marvel Rivals similar to Magik. Characters in this role are the ideal frontliners to take out opponents because they do a lot of damage to them.
Psylocke has the potential to develop into a strong melee character that can offer assistance by utilizing her telekinetic abilities. However, this might also mean that Marvel Rivals will need to add additional Strategists and Vanguards to the game because it might launch with an excessive amount of Duelists.
