Marvel Rivals made some thrilling announcements at Gamescom, including a December 6th release date. However, they didn’t discuss the next opportunity for fans to play the game. Will there be an open beta, or will only streamers have access?
Let’s explore the possibilities.
- The dev team’s response to open beta questions was focused on Gamescom, neither confirming nor denying future plans.
- Miller Ross, a reliable source, believes an open beta is likely, with rumors pointing to October.
- An October open beta would provide a good timeline: 2.5 months after the recent closed beta and 2 months before launch.
- More characters may be revealed before launch, and an open beta would allow for further testing and balancing.
- The team hinted at more announcements, and an open beta could be one of them.
An open beta in October seems plausible and beneficial for Marvel Rivals. It would give the developers valuable data to ensure a smooth launch and allow fans to test new characters and maps. The team’s focus on the Gamescom announcement doesn’t rule out an open beta; it’s a strategic move to keep the spotlight on their current reveal.
The upcoming PAX West event could be an ideal platform to announce an open beta, generating excitement among attendees and the gaming community. As a fan eagerly awaiting Marvel Rivals, I’m hopeful for another chance to experience the game before its official release.
