Marvel Rivals is launching quickly on a brand new platform. No, the favored superhero on-line PVP shooter isn’t coming to Nintendo Swap 2. As a substitute, NetEase has quietly introduced that Rivals is getting a PS4 port. I can already think about how loud an outdated PS4 will sound when Physician Unusual creates a portal.
On September 3, NetEase released a new trailer for the upcoming fourth season of Marvel Rivals, “Heart of the Dragon.” The brand new season arrives on September 12 and brings Daredevil to the sport’s already giant roster. Nevertheless, on the very finish of this slick, action-packed story trailer, NetEase included a bit of stories. Seen briefly in the final moments of the trailer is the emblem for the PlayStation 4. It appears the net superhero sport is getting a last-gen port.
Word of this PS4 port first appeared earlier this week, with dataminers discovering proof on the PlayStation Retailer’s again finish of a brand new PS4 model of Marvel Rivals. In the present day’s new teaser appears to verify that, sure, NetEase is porting its blockbuster superhero sport to the ageing PS4. Sony’s outdated residence console launched again in November 2013, practically 12 years in the past. And but, Marvel Rivals will quickly be playable on the outdated {hardware}. Some followers are confused as to why Rivals is making the backward leap to PS4 whereas it nonetheless lacks a Swap 2 port. It might appear logical that if Rivals can run on PS4, it may well possible run on a Swap 2. Perhaps a lack of dev kits is to blame?
No matter all that, this can be very wild to me that Marvel Rivals is launching on PS4 in 2025. This can be a console that launched throughout the tail finish of the primary part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This can be a machine that arrived when Barack Obama was nonetheless president of the US. And shortly you’ll be capable to play Marvel Rivals on it. Certain, it’s not the primary time we’ve seen a current-gen sport go backwards with a PS4 port. However it’s nonetheless odd.
