Marvel Rivals previously teased a new 18 vs 18 mode, and now the first footage of the game mode in action has been revealed. The new mode will take place on a brand new map known as the Grand Garden, and two teams of 18 will be battling in a domination showdown. Raising the teams to 18 takes an already chaotic battle and makes it ten times as intense and as frenzied, but it’s not just the fact that the number of players has been raised.
As you can see in the video above, the chaos is also due to the fact that players aren’t restricted to choosing a character that hasn’t been picked yet. That means there can be multiple Gambits and Wolverines in the mix with a few Storms hitting players from up high, and you can counter with a few Thors and Venoms to even things out.
Granted, everyone can also pick someone different, as there are certainly enough characters to do so (there are currently 44 heroes in total, and Rogue will be the 45th), but part of the fun of a mode like this is getting to choose a few of the same characters and see how that shakes up the mix.
