The month of December marks the arrival of many highly anticipated titles in the world of video games, and among them, one game in particular is catching the eye of Switch owners. Unfortunately for them, its director is categorical: it will never see the light of day on the Nintendo console.
Marvel Rivals is a hit with hero shooter fans
At the moment, releases follow one another and overlap in the world of video games, and there is something for everyone! Just the first week of December, Infinity Nikkithe cozy open-world game from infoldgames, The Neo Dimension of FantasyMistwalker's adventure game, Path of Exile 2the new nugget from Grinding Gear Games, and Marvel Rivalsthe hero shooter from NetEase Games, has entered the market, and players no longer know where to turn. However, regulars of games like Overwatch or Valuing seem to have a clear preference…
Despite controversy surrounding its alpha playtest, during which those who took part were contractually not allowed to criticize the game on the networks (a concern which has since been resolved since the contract was amended by NetEase to the following tests), the hype seems to be there for the official release of Marvel Rivals on December 6, 2024. Fans of the genre will obviously be there, but if you are interested in it and are simply waiting for it to be available on the portable console of Nintendoit's best not to hold your breath.
Marvel Rivals will never see the light of day on this console
In an interview with Pocket Tactics on the occasion of the Gamescom 2024the director of the game, Thaddeus Sasserspoke about the future of Marvel Rivals on portable console. Currently, the game from NetEase Games is only available on PC, PlayStation 5et Xbox Seriesunlike games of the same genre like Overwatch 2 which is also playable on Nintendo Switch. But when asked about the subject, Thaddeus Sasser shut down rumors of a potential Switch port, explaining that there were “no ongoing discussions” and that the game “definitely would not be released on Nintendo Switch.”
Unfortunately for fans of the universe Marvelit seems that Marvel Rivals either too resource intensive to one day arrive on mobile or Switch. The game having been built on Unreal Engine 5the visual effects, the destruction of the environment, and the dynamism of the combat would be far too demanding for devices of this type. The game is already suffering on Xbox Series Sit is therefore not difficult to imagine its state on a console or a phone which would not have the configuration required to run it smoothly.
