After a not-so-subtle tease at the end of Marvel Rivals’ last trailer, NetEase Games has confirmed Moon Knight for the roster. As the Fist of Khonshu, the Duelist can glide and throw projectiles that ricochet between enemies. Check out his first gameplay below.
The identity of Moon Knight is Marc Spector, a former mercenary who gains powers via Khonshu, the Egyptian god of the moon. Unlike the comics, where his outfit is more cloth-based, Moon Knight sports more “technological” aspects. As for the giant portal manifested during battle, it’s literally Khonshu’s arms raining down on enemies and dealing damage in an area.
How did Spector and Khonshu get wrapped up in Marvel Rivals’ interdimensional conflict? We’ll have to wait until the free-to-play hero shooter launches on December 6th. Stay tuned for further details until then.
Marvel Rivals will be available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. All heroes at launch (and afterwards) will be free.
