While some of the gaming community is playing the closed alpha test of Marvel Rivals and others would like to play it, others are trying to dig through files to find information.
All leaked Marvel Rivals characters in one video..?!
One such miner claims to have found information in the game suggesting that heroes will be purchasable and not available for free. The account later said that heroes can be purchased or earned, but that it will be “slow.”
And my reaction, and that of many others, is… yeah, so? This has been happening in free-to-play games forever. In a May 14 Reddit thread about the alleged "leak," players shrugged at the expected news. Marvel Rivals has been confirmed as a free-to-play title, so this sort of thing shouldn't come as a surprise.
Free-to-play games often release a roster of free heroes, and then have a rotation of weekly or daily free characters, along with the option to purchase them with real money or currency earned in-game. Think Apex Legends and other games like it with unique characters that offer their own abilities.
