Of course, it's possible that Insomniac may have changed its plans and may be holding back as a result of the cyberattack the studio faced last year . As a result, a hacker group shared details including all of the plans for Marvel's Wolverine , including footage, game files - which have been made playable by some in the community - a teaser trailer for the game, and the studio's pipeline of games, showing the future of its Marvel Universe. It wouldn't be surprising if, as a result, Sony and Insomniac took a step back, firstly, to recover from the personal toll of the hack, which also leaked documents about the staff at Insomniac, but then also to rework its marketing strategy to ensure that there are still plenty of surprises outside of the content people may have seen onl

**Last year, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 had a very strong presence at San Diego Comic-Con ** . From a giant stand that recreated the shot from the reveal trailer of Venom looming in a dark alleyway with life-size statues of Peter and Miles to a panel with the cast and developers of the game in the convention center's biggest stage, Hall H . This panel gave players a look at the game's story - showing Martin Li's return for the first time alongside revealing Venom's identity as Harry Osborn in the game - and unveiled the limited edition Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 and DualSense controller designs, the latter of which I managed to get my hands on as soon as it became availa

Today, dozens of hero shooters in the gaming sphere strive to create memorable characters, but it's a struggle to even gain a fraction of the passion that people feel for the playable characters in Marvel Rivals . The game's cast already has engaging backstories and storylines tied to each one, which immediately helps players feel tied to the characters they are playing. Beloved cast members are nothing unique to hero shooters, but how Marvel Rivals characters work together

P unisher and Hela are also Iron Man’s main counters in Marvel Rivals . Punisher is a good counter because of his ranged DPS abilities, allowing him to deal massive damage faster. He also has grenades and can generate turrets. Likewise, Hela can also take down enemies at range with her knife-throwing skills. She also can fly herself by using her shapeshifting abilities . This makes her a threat to Iron Man, and you should be wary of both charact

While the Marvel Rivals closed beta includes excellent character models and engaging scenery, its use of the Unreal 5 engine takes things up a notch by allowing stage destruction. This helps gameplay feel like an evolution of the hero shooter genre, which has become oversaturated with multiplayer experiences filled with cool and adorable characters fighting to take control of a specific location. While Marvel Rivals does that too, it does it in ways that will be tough for other games to ma

Shang-Chi's mastery of his chi could be used to buff or heal himself or allies, and his mastery of martial arts could enable him to go up against whatever fighter steps his way. Since Shang-Chi relies on a mastery of technique to hold his own, he could be a character with a low-skill floor but a high-skill ceil

After the screening, there was a drone show celebrating the movie's release and teasing some of the Fantastic Four reveals that would be coming up in Saturday's main Marvel Studios panel. With not only his costume on display on the main convention floor but also his head projected high above the center by hundreds of drones, it's safe to say Wolverine was a pretty notable part of this year's event. The full drone show, which was streamed on the Parks and Cons YouTube channel, can be seen be

It's possible that Sony may be holding back from showing more of Marvel's Wolverine to save it for part of its own PlayStation Showcases ** first - much as it did with the initial reveal back in September 2021 - or that the game could make an appearance at August's Gamescom event instead. This year's Gamescom is reportedly the biggest yet, and while there have been reports that Sony may be missing it this year, a press release by Pyramid International stated that "the heroic tales of Marvel" will be part of its lineup. Of course, this could be referring to other titles such as Marvel Rivals or the upcoming Captain America and Black Panther-led Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra , so only time will tell. Hopefully, we will see more of Insomniac's critically acclaimed Marvel Universe soon, even if its absence at San Diego Comic-Con** does feel like a bit of a missed opportun

**In Marvel Rivals , however, Spider-Man can go straight from a wall-run - a mechanic that is also in Marvel Rivals walkthrough's Spider-Man and is far quicker than wall crawling - into running along the ceiling ** , as shown in a clip shared by FleurashDesign on X. While its exclusion in Marvel's Spider-Man is not game-breaking, it is something that would make sense for the character to have and would make indoor traversal a bit quicker and varied, and several other players responded to FleurashDesign's post by tagging Insomniac directly and requesting such a feature in a future ti
