Marvel's Mobile Alliances Unite in January

Marvel Rivals, NetEase's popular hero shooter for consoles and PC, is set to collaborate with several top Marvel mobile games. Marvel Puzzle Quest, Future Fight, and Snap are confirmed participants. While specifics remain under wraps, a significant crossover event is anticipated, launching January 3rd.

A Twitter announcement confirmed the collaboration between Marvel Rivals and its mobile counterparts, promising further details shortly. This isn't NetEase's first foray into Marvel's mobile landscape. Earlier this month, Marvel Snap featured a season showcasing lesser-known characters from Rivals, such as Galacta and Peni Parker, highlighting the synergy between the titles.

A New Kind of Competition

While calling Marvel Rivals an "Overwatch killer" might be an overstatement, its success is undeniable. This crossover presents a unique opportunity to boost the popularity of Marvel's mobile titles, a reverse of the typical collaborative dynamic.

The collaboration is particularly fitting given Luna Snow's history. A key character in Marvel Rivals, she first appeared in Marvel Future Fight before entering the comics. Given NetEase's recent holiday success, this crossover is expected to be substantial.
