Marvel Rivals is the newest hero shooter on the block, following closely in Overwatch’s footsteps. It takes inspiration from Blizzard’s game in plenty of ways, from general game modes to its style of monetization. Another way it takes inspiration is in its characters.
Some hero abilities in Marvel Rivals are clearly taken right from Overwatch characters. Many characters are pretty conceptually similar as well. For instance, Hulk comes to mind as a very similar concept to D. Va, both heroes have a “transformation” to make them immensely more powerful. That can be useful to keep in mind if you’re coming into Rivals fresh from Overwatch and want to roll with characters that feel familiar.
Luckily for you, we’ve put together a collection of five characters so similar to Overwatch characters that many will find themselves right at home when jumping in.
