The team-based shooter Marvel Rivals launched loudly and attracted a lot of attention from players. Against this background, Overwatch 2 could be doing better. Before the launch, some “contemptuously” called the project a clone of Overwatch 2 with superheroes.
At launch, the peak online Marvel Rivals exceeded the 480+ thousand player mark. Users pointed out that Blizzard’s game does not look perfect against this background: Overwatch 2’s online figures reached a “historic low” (31 – 33 thousand).
Players criticized the Overwatch 2 concept from the very beginning—a noticeable number of community members did not like the new “5 on 5” game formula. As a recent test of the classic “6 on 6” mode showed, there is still a significant demand for it. Also, to Blizzar, there were questions about the monetization system.
