Perhaps I am simply making incorrect assumptions right here, however in my head, solely a really, very small variety of folks at the moment know what is going on to occur in Avengers: Doomsday. The movie, deliberate to hit theaters on December 18 of this 12 months, is anticipated to be a dramatic conclusion to Section Six of the MCU and options nearly each Marvel hero we have seen in the MCU thus far that is not lifeless (and seemingly at the very least one who we thought was? Perhaps?). Naturally, then, everyone seems to be wildly speculating about what is going on to occur in Doomsday, however the one people who know are these working very, very intently on the movie itself…
…and in addition, to an extent, the Marvel Rivals builders.
Chatting with IGN on the Sport Builders Convention, the Marvel Rivals devs admitted to me that sure, they do truly know a few of what is going on to occur in Avengers: Doomsday. At the very least as a lot as they should in order to conduct their “Path to Doomsday” sequence of occasions.
Announced earlier this month, Path to Doomsday will introduce updates all year long themed after every of the Avengers movies: Avengers in April, Age of Ultron in June, Infinity Struggle in August, and Endgame in October. That is all main up to an enormous occasion beginning concurrently with the discharge of Doomsday the movie, in which the devs promise to “totally [ignite] the battlefield with all-new in-game content material”.
Nevertheless it takes time to develop a sport! Marvel Video games govt producer Danny Koo, publishing director Yachen Bian, and inventive director Guangyun “Guangguang” Chen informed me in our interview that they plan out content material round a 12 months in advance, and proper now they’re primarily pulling double responsibility between common sport updates and the Path to Doomsday. Naturally, then, they should know at the very least a few of what’s coming in Doomsday to allow them to put together an occasion round it that is sensible.
The Path to Doomsday begins!
New sport modes and in-game occasions impressed by The Infinity Saga are coming to Marvel Rivals! Discover the total roadmap beginning in April and persevering with by means of to October to find what’s to return.

In fact, they will not inform me something about it.
“High secret,” says Koo. “We work collectively on Path to Doomsday, ensuring that we hit the finale, proper? As a result of workers want all this data to organize for what’s coming.”
Bian, maybe a bit of slyly, provides, “We know what we will know.”
Mysterious. The Doomsday hypothesis stays in full swing: Halle Berry retains claiming she will not be in Doomsday as Storm, Marvel launched a bunch of non-trailer trailers that it claims are simply “narrative data”, and seemingly Thor will survive the movie and make all of it the way in which to Secret Wars.
