NetEase’s upcoming team-based shooter Marvel Rivals is already generating buzz for its frantic action and diverse roster of heroes, but it appears the developers are thinking far beyond launch. Game Director Guangguang has confirmed to Insider Gaming that the team is planning collaborations with other Marvel titles in the future.

While Guangguang didn’t spill specifics, he hinted that these collaborations could involve characters, skins, and even storylines pulled from across Marvel’s expansive gaming catalogue. This opens the door for possible crossovers with games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Midnight Suns, or even long-forgotten fan favorites from previous generations.

Cross-game collaborations aren’t unheard of in the industry, but Marvel has typically kept its gaming worlds separate. By breaking down those barriers, Marvel Rivals could offer limited-time events and unique rewards that celebrate the larger Marvel universe while keeping its community invested over the long haul.

Guangguang emphasized that any crossover content would be handled with care to ensure it remains true to the source material, noting that authenticity is a top priority for the team. Given Marvel’s decades of storytelling and vast character library, the potential scope of these partnerships is enormous from obscure cult heroes to the headliners of billion-dollar films.

With Marvel Rivals still in its pre-release stage, there’s plenty of time for speculation. If NetEase can pull off these plans, the game could become a central hub for Marvel’s gaming future, connecting fans across multiple franchises in one evolving universe.
