Devil Dinosaur Joins the Battle in Marvel Rivals for Season 8: SINS OF ALCHEMAX, Launching May 15
Today, Marvel Games and NetEase Games have unveiled full details for Season 8: SINS OF ALCHEMAX, launching May 15 for Marvel Rivals. The award-winning and critically-acclaimed Super Hero Team-Based PVP Shooter lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains battling with unique powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from across the Marvel Multiverse. Devil Dinosaur will join the ever-expanding roster for Season 8 as a Vanguard.
Season 8 will also introduce an all-new Doom Match map, Alchemax Headquarters, new accessories, exclusive College Student Perks, PC Storage Optimization and more. Additionally, following a preseason defined by breakout performances and constant upsets, the Marvel Rivals Ignite esports competition moves into Stage 1, with action beginning on May 21.
Devil Dinosaur (Vanguard) – Devil Dinosaur is a primal Vanguard who brings raw, savage power to the roster, always ready to tear the opposition to shreds. In combat, he relies on his massive physique and a forcefield shield to brawl on the frontline, using his primal bites to inflict a continuous bleeding effect on targets. When smashing through enemy defenses, he ramps up the aggression, shredding exposed prey and temporarily clamping his massive jaws around bleeding enemies to take them out of the fight with a controlling hold. Upon activating his Ultimate Ability, Devil Dinosaur transforms into an unstoppable behemoth, charging forward and mercilessly trampling all enemies in his path, completely shattering enemy backlines to lead the team to victory.
The all-new Doom Match map, Alchemax Headquarters, will be available after the May 28 update, so players can get ready to storm the gates and rescue Cyclops and Moon Girl. Also, a new batch of adorable accessories has been prepared for Devil Dinosaur, The Thing, Black Widow, Angela, Hela, Namor, and The Punisher.
Additionally, PC Storage has been optimized by making the High-Resolution Texture Pack a standalone DLC that can be uninstalled separately, freeing up about 35GB of storage.
Stage 1 of the Marvel Rivals Ignite esports competition features a total prize pool of $650,000, and it will be played across two phases: Group Stage running from May 21 – June 7 and Playoffs running from June 25 – July 5. As part of the Stage 1 update, a new map, New York: Lower Manhattan, will be introduced, adding new strategic depth and gameplay dynamics to the competition.
