A new Marvel Rivals map has just been revealed ahead of next weekend's Closed Alpha, and it takes a leap back in time.
Marvel Rivals | Card Reveal | TOKYO 2099 – 'TRADITIONAL & FUTURISTIC SHIN-SHIBUYA'
Marvel's 2099 universe will be represented in the alpha and full game with the new map Tokyo 2099: Shin-Shibuya, which is described as "traditional and futuristic." It's a beautiful map and full of nods to the larger Marvel universe, merging two Yggsgard maps in the alpha.
One reference, for example, is an arcade game called War Tales. In the map, you'll find the game's cabinet featuring both Dr. Doom and Captain America, who have not yet been confirmed for the Marvel Rivals roster, but will likely be included in future updates.
Elsewhere, the map is absolutely a futuristic take on Japan, with cherry blossom trees dotted around, amongst giant holographic advertisements and gigantic corporate buildings like the infamous Alchemax from the Spider-Verse. Also spotted in the reveal trailer is a line on the ground à la Overwatch’s Escort gametype, and an objective within an area that looks like a temple.
