Have you ever wished for a role lock feature in Marvel Rivals from NetEase Games? It seems your wish has been granted, but not quite as you might have imagined. Instead of a revamped balance and queue system like the one in Overwatch, we’re about to dive into a bold new game mode that limits each team to just two hero choices. So if you’re itching to try matches that intentionally mimic the opposing team, now’s your perfect chance.
This new mode, appropriately dubbed ‘Clone Rumble,’ is straightforward: each team votes for a hero to be part of the game, allowing every player to choose from these two options. Imagine the mayhem as teams might line up with a wall of Groots, unleash a storm of Luna Snow’s ultimates, or repeatedly resurrect with Adam Warlock. It’s bound to be a wild ride, and keeping track of everything will likely be a head-scratching challenge.
Say goodbye to the classic strategic team setups in Marvel Rivals. In this mode, stacking abilities and ultimates opens the door to crafting almost unstoppable combos. While balance might take a backseat, the thought of bombarding opponents from all sides with six Scarlet Witch ultimates is admittedly thrilling.
But wait, there’s more! Alongside Clone Rumble, an event board game awaits, offering a plethora of rewards like nameplates, emotes, sprays, and more, tallying up to 320 items. Looking to score some extra in-game currency for the latest Marvel Rivals skins? Jumping in and tackling the event challenges is a surefire strategy. And with Black Widow stepping into an Old West gunslinger getup—inspired by her 1872 comic storyline where she marries Bucky Barnes—there’s plenty of motivation to embrace the madness.
Mark your calendars: NetEase Games has slated the Clone Rumble mode to start on Friday, March 7. Just how long this chaos will reign remains a mystery for now.
