Marvel Rivals: Wong Spotted, Fueling Speculation of Future Playable Character
A recently released trailer for Marvel Rivals' new Sanctum Sanctorum map has sparked excitement among players, with many believing it hints at the addition of Wong to the game's roster. The trailer briefly showcases a painting of Doctor Strange's mystical ally, Wong, fueling speculation about his potential inclusion as a playable character.
The game, a multiplayer hero shooter akin to Overwatch, has already garnered immense popularity, boasting over 10 million players within its first 72 hours. Season 1, titled "Eternal Night," launches January 10th and features Dracula as the main antagonist, alongside the Fantastic Four (including their villainous counterparts, the Maker and Malice as alternate skins).
Reddit user fugo_hate, on r/marvelrivals, first highlighted the Wong painting in the Sanctum Sanctorum trailer. This subtle Easter egg has ignited discussions about Wong's potential skillset, drawing on his mastery of mystical arts.
While the painting might simply be a tribute to Doctor Strange's companion, the possibility of a playable Wong is enticing. His recent rise in popularity, thanks to Benedict Wong's MCU portrayal, adds to the excitement. Wong has previously appeared in various Marvel games, though often in non-playable roles (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance) or in mobile titles (Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2).
Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night promises exciting new content, including three new maps and a Doom Match mode, alongside the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman as playable characters on January 10th. The mystery surrounding Wong's potential addition, however, adds another layer of anticipation for players.
