We still don’t have a release date for NetEase Marvel’s RivalsBut the game seems to be progressing well as the developer has announced plans to hold a closed beta test. Like the previous closed alpha test, which was exclusive to PC users in North America, the beta will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in North America, Europe, and Asia.
The closed beta program will begin on July 23 and run through August 5. During this time, anyone invited to participate will be able to experience the superhero team-based PvP shooter that features two opposing squads of heroes and villains from across the Marvel multiverse.
The beta will include all previously revealed characters, including the two recent additions of Venom and Adam Warlock. Ahead of the beta, NetEase released a trailer showcasing Venom’s abilities.
