DecemberCloak and Dagger's New Look: A Perfect Fit for Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals players will be familiar with the mechanic of swapping between Cloak and Dagger on the battlefield. With that and the first issue's summary name-dropping the game, it certainly seems like this new three-issue miniseries is built on the characters' Marvel Rivals popularity. It's a smart move from Marvel, given Cloak and Dagger are generally in the top three characters chosen by players, functioning as a combined Strateg
Game Director Chad Grenier, Audio Director Erik Kraber, and Principal Animator Moy Parra spoke to IGN about the challenges of game development during a pandemic. Grenier talked about the turnaround time of different elements, saying that the prototyping phase for major things like Olympus and Horizon began roughly a year ago before the pandemic hit. He noted that everything else, like new voice lines and Season 7’s snazzy cosmetics , were all started and finished from h
Apex Legends Season 7, Ascension, is the game’s biggest yet. Not only did it introduce a new Legend, the gravity manipulator Horizon, but it also brought a third map and introduced vehicles . Some members of Apex ’s development team at Respawn Entertainment recently discussed the challenges of creating so much content while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and teased what is to come for following seas
**Marvel Rivals ** is entering its fifth Season, introducing new characters, modes, maps, and more as it enters a romantic theme for its 1-year anniversary. Along with the fresh features for the game includes a mode not many players expected, alongside several changes to competitive systems. This mode encourages the social elements of the hero shooter, in a way that few titles in the genre manage to
There are multiple directions DC could take such a game. One option would be embracing Mortal Kombat-style one-on-one combat, staying true to the comic’s duel-centric fights. Alternatively, DC could go directly to Fightnewsplus all in and challenge Marvel Rivals directly with large-scale PvP matches and strategic team-based gameplay. Either approach could set the stage for a truly epic experie
Additionally, DC would benefit from evolving the comic’s one-on-one tournament format into something closer to Rivals ’ 6v6 team-based shooter gameplay. Introducing customizable skins, team synergy mechanics, and varied map combat could make the experience more dynamic and competitive, transforming a DC K.O. ** game into a true rival for _Marvel’s** _ wildly popular multiplayer
Although this Gallery Card is being written by another Marvel Comics figure, The Grandmaster, **a P.S. at the end of the letter provides __ even better hints than its title ** . The end of the letter reads "And if you play your cards right and they don't drain every last bit of your life force, I may make an appearance at your next tournament myself
In the upcoming Cloak or Dagger , Marvel lore will jump forward ten years into the future, introducing a new status quo for Cloak and Dagger . This comes with a sleek redesign, as seen in cover art from Mike McKone, Rickie Yagaw and Tamra Bonvillain, Fan Yang, David Nakayama and Corin How
While this could have easily been a one-off gag, the rest of the issue hilariously sees the other symbiote heroes indeed referring to Spider-Man as Kerfuffle , officially making it his actual symbiote name (at least in the entangled mess of timelines that is the Marvel Rivals continui
A season centered around romance would be almost the tonal opposite of Season 4's conflict between Daredevil and Angela in the Heart of Heaven. The lighthearted atmosphere might be a nice change of pace for the game, taking a departure from the abyssal battle against Knull on Klyntar and the intense angel vs devil motiff of Seaso
**One such Gallery Card introduced in Season 4.5 is called "Raising the Stakes," whose title already implies a connection to the exploding card-wielding X-Men, Gambit ** . With the common action of gambling being this Card's starting point, it can almost be assumed that Gambit himself is writing it, as the lore is in the form of a letter addressed to Shao-
For animation, Parra revealed that for a short time, the studio was not able to use motion capture, a tool which Respawn heavily relies on for both gameplay and its launch trailers, like for Season 4 depicting Revenant on a killing spr
Currently, Marvel Rivals is in the middle of its fourth season, entitled "Heart of the Dragon" (featuring new characters like Angela and Daredevil as well as new maps with the Heavenly City of K'un-Lun). However, the third season of Marvel Rivals was "The Abyss Awakens" , a blend of light and dark with Knull's symbiotes clashing with the Phoenix Fo
Nevertheless, it's not as if Spider-Man has had any kind of official symbiote name in the main Marvel canon, so this is as funny as it is ironically significant for the Webslinger . All in all, it's a pretty fitting name for the wisecracking webhead, especially in the more lighthearted context that is a video game tie-in ser
