This X-Men character could be available to players at the launch of Marvel Rivals. Here's what to expect

A new Marvel Rivals playable character has leaked online. A short video on social media has hinted and revealed that Psylocke out of X-Men is expected to be one of the playable characters available in the team-based PVP shooter when it officially releases for PC and console players on December 6th. Wonder has already confirmed 25 playable heroes and villains with unique abilities, including Captain AmericaWinter Soldier and Black Panther that will be available at launch. However, it is important to note that these characters are expected to remain unlocked for all players and NetEase can add more Marvel characters after the start.
In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), a leaker known as 404 Leak shared a short clip revealing that Psylocke from X-Men is expected to be available at the launch of Marvel Rivals. The video shows the character with a new look, leaving behind pink and purple butterflies after she disappears.

Previous Marvel Rivals leaks also suggested that Psylocke could be playable in the next few days. This short animation suggests that the character could finally appear in the game. However, there is no confirmed release date for Psylocke yet, so Marvel Rivals fans will have to wait for an official announcement from Net Ease.

Marvel Rivals Psylocke: What to expect

Psylocke is a mutated clairvoyant with telepathic, telekinetic and psionic weapon abilities and is expected to be a duelist in Marvel Rivals, similar to Magik. According to a report from GameRant, Psylocke could have offensive abilities. In addition, her portrayal as a ninja after switching bodies with Kwannon in the Uncanny X-Men comics could also be the inspiration for her character in the game, the report says.
If she is indeed classified as a duelist, she could be a strong melee character who provides support through her telekinetic powers. However, this could also lead to an imbalance of character roles in the game, requiring more strategists and vanguards to be used to maintain balance.
