Just want to get out ahead of this and say I think just from what we're hearing it's similar to OW where there's melee characters, characters with guns/weapons, characters skillsets are what you'd see in the comics

It isn't like Suicide Squad where they just decided to give everyone guns.
I've played plenty of Overwatch and am familiar with it and still think "hero shooter" is a poor fit for the Marvel Universe. It's a very limited genre that I don't think captures these heroes well at all.

More Details

-Console and PC Only. No Mobile

-Another Map will be Spider-Island. Where players will escort Spider-Zero
(young spider woman whose universe was destroyed by an incursion so she's a multiversal traveler with nowhere to call home)

-Third Map is an unnamed city in Tokyo

-Dr. Doom will be playable. Is also the "Overarching Villian"

Some Abilities
-Mantis can put people to sleep
-Luna Snow can freeze enemies
-Loki can go invisible and create illusions
-Rocket is a support

-Stormbreaker will be convoy on an escort map

-Hulk is kind of like Dva and will "de-mech" transform when taking too much damage

-Heard about two skins so far "Steampunk Iron Man" and "Senator Loki"

Also James Arnold Taylor is voicing Magneto


I really hate that they gave Mantis MCU abilities rather than comic abilities. Mantis is a top-tier CQC combatant with astral projection and precognition, not just an empath.

Luna Snow getting attention is dope considering a lot of Agents of Atlas characters were kinda left in the dust (Aero and Wave make appearances in Marvel Snap however).

Loving the mutant representation, Storm, Magik, Magnet, Scarlet Witch, and Namor.
Similarly, Guardians have 4 members - Mantis, Rocket, Groot, Star-Lord.
And then Avengers have 5 as well - Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man
Only ones "out of place" are Loki, Peni, Punisher, and Luna.

Loki falls under the villain category
Punisher falls under the anti-hero category or street level category (which would be accompanied by Peter in the roster)
Peni falls under Spider-Verse (accompanied by Peter in the roster)
Luna is Agents of Atlas

Doom playable would give Loki some company in his category.

If they'll nail the gameplay and the micro$$$ won't be predatory, they'll earn billions...

You can tell the page is legit because of the art

You can tell the page isn't legit because of the "art", lmao. The text is easiest to help people see it but the whole image is fucked lol; blurry mess especially in the faces, plenty of inconsistent details, random demon creature generated over what is obviously Loki (or possibly their take on Darkchylde Magik, if that's included here); every telltale sign you could want for image generation software filling in the existing silhouette image.

EDIT: Just crossing out the parts I already corrected myself on later, in case someone scrolling misses the later context.

I'd agree with you if it weren't for the fact that the character designs are extremely similar to the ones we've seen in the leaked character select screen, the one that really does it for me is Magneto

Plus the twitter account that exists here and has been registered since Nov 2023

I'm not sure what the demonic thing over Loki is (maybe one of his illusions) but so much about it lines up

It looks to me like it's been put through an upscaler

EDIT: Found more at in a different aspect

The art is definitely legit but the facebook page could definitely not be

Hadn't seen the Twitter account yet but you're right, that one may be the real deal since the art in the banner there doesn't look messed up in the same places the Facebook image is. You're probably right on the Facebook image being AI upscaled rather than generated wholesale, which still means the Facebook page and the details on it can be discounted for now, but I was wrong on the specifics, whoops.

Yeah, I can agree with you on that one, could easily have taken the twitter art, upscaled it and made the page, I'd just be shocked at no console support after leakers who originally said mobile have even come out and said oh wait no this isn't coming to mobile

I hope that if this page is legit that its outdated info that just hasn't been updated yet

Who's that lame generic demon dude with the big sword, lol?

Game-original Marvel characters are usually way better than that; just look at Luna Snow.

There's no fucking way this won't come to consoles. Otherwise it would be the dumbest decision I've ever seen.

Grain of Salt but Alpha Tester has shared their thoughts and honestly these thoughts just sound like surface level thoughts, like they read a headline of "Marvel are making an Overwatch style Hero Shooter" and decided to just write based on that

especially when you consider the art we have seen already looks a bit different to Overwatch

I mean I'm not going to complain if it just an Overwatch 3rd Person Clone (which is already a pretty big difference)

I like Overwatch so I would be happy if it was a straight up clone. Having a decent roster with all these powers, sign me up

gotta be fake because a game that looks and feels like Overwatch, but with Marvel characters in 3rd person sounds bananas, and they're acting like we've had dozens of games like that.

We did have a Gundam Overwatch game and that died. Then there's Exoprimal, I have no idea how that is holding up but I thought it was decent.

Besides that what else is there? Smite, Paragon, Predecessor? Those are 3rd person-action MOBAs and not shooters.

Gigantic died but it is coming back. Battleborn is dead. I would disagree that it's too late to enter this sort of market. It just isn't easy to stay in it.

Only thing I'd be concerned about is whether or not it's different enough from OW. Valorant mixed ability-based shooters with CS and Apex mixed Titanfall with ability-based shooters to make a BR. Maybe all a Marvel Overwatch game would need is Marvel. Not releasing on console is a head-scratcher though.

if this doesn't come to consoles I'm going to be so bummed. My PC is ages old so that isn't going to work for me. (All of this is assuming the game is actually fun)

with Marvel characters was a very important part of what I was describing

this being on mobile severely dampens my hype for the scope lol, I don't know who is there at NetEase to pull off an Overwatch clone on mobile.

Leakers saying it is PC/Console, No Mobile

Potentially? Fake Facebook saying PC, Android, iOS

so at this point we really don't know yet could be either one, we'll probably find out in a few hours

although fwiw that facebook pages discord does link to a discord called "Project X20" and you can see nothing in there unless you got a verification code from inside of a game so...

A hero shooter with actual branded heroes. I'm always ready for some super hero games and I fell off of Overwatch, so this could be fun.

The roster seems fine. Some interesting choices for an initial roster. Surprised they skipped Captain America and Captain Marvel and some of the younger heroes like Kamala and Miles.

I'm sorry but I cannot contain my excitement for this AT ALL.

What makes people think the Facebook page is fake? I clicked the Discord link on there and it leads to a code named server that only grants you access if you have some type of in-game code.

I know. I have been burned too many times but this is all the right boxes being checked for me
Yup very much can't contain excitement here either, love Marvel, love Overwatch, if this is just that in 3rd person like that supposed tester said then count me in

I also like that some of the character choices are a bit out of left field

if you asked most people to pick a roster for a Marvel Team Based Hero Shooter, not a chance 95% of people say Luna Snow, Peni Parker or Magik (although she's grown in popularity quite a bit recently)

if this is on mobile it's a wrap, netease doesn't know how to make good mobile games


if it is indeed pc / console... oh baby

Nailed it! They have the opportunity to fill a major void right now since OW2 has been a massive disappointment. Praying they get it right with this.

I'm failing to visualize how this could be a third person game but also a straight OW clone tbh

Seems way more likely it will control like Fortnite to me
