Moon Knight Teased
Not only did we get to enjoy a breathtaking trailer of a new character – Psylocke, but, at the same time we got to see another exciting thing…
At the end of the Psylocke character reveal trailer, we get to enjoy a stunning frame of the moon with a silhouette appearing and disappearing quickly, which many community members took as a sign of Moon Knight being added to the game!
Psylocke Confirmed
Another exciting character just got announced – Psylocke: Mutant Yokai Slayer! Even though her abilities haven’t been revealed yet, it appears that Psylocke will be the first character to have invisibility in this game.

Human Torch: Another flying character that has great abilities for denning space and spamming chokes.
Cloak & Dagger: This a first character with two stances, he can become a duelist or strategist depending on what you need at the moment.
Moon Knight: A duelist who can counter flankers due to his CC and reveal abilities.
Squirrel Girl: Junkrat of Marvel Rivals community, very hard to go through if she is holding the choke.
Black Widow: Another character for FPS enjoyers, your headshots will make you MVP.
Ultron: A robot that summons robots to protect your team.
