Marvel Rivals took to social media to express gratitude after the hero shooter was nominated for Online Game of the Year for the DICE Awards 2025. This will be the 28th anniversary of the prestigious awards show, which will be held in Las Vegas on February 13 at 11 PM ET. Fans who wish to view the show will have the opportunity to tune in via livestream and see if Marvel Rivals takes home the award for Online Game of the Year.
NetEase Games recently launched Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, which added a lot of new content to the hero shooter. Throughout the course of the season, The Fantastic Four will be added to the game's ever-expanding roster, bringing the total number of heroes to 37. Fans are also able to experience a fresh game mode called Doom Match, which allows 12 players to engage in a free-for-all fight to see who can reach 16 eliminations first. Players can also explore the new Midtown and Sanctum Sanctorum maps, with a Central Park map expected to arrive during the game's mid-season update.

Marvel Rivals Battle Pass Has Two Free Skins for All Players
NetEase Games surprises fans of the popular hero shooter by including two free skins for all players in Marvel Rivals' Season 1 battle pass.
Despite being released near the very end of 2024, Marvel Rivals has been nominated for Online Game of the Year for the DICE Awards 2025. Some fans feel NetEase Games has been on something of a hot streak, as Marvel Rivals also celebrated 20 million downloads shortly after its launch on December 6. Fellow nominees for Online Game of the Year include Helldivers 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred. While many fans feel Marvel Rivals is up against some stiff competition, a large portion of the community remains optimistic about the game's chances of taking home the award.
Marvel Rivals Has Been Nominated for Online Game of the Year
The popular hero shooter has had a lot to celebrate recently, as Marvel Rivals broke its concurrent player record on Steam with the launch of Season 1 on January 10. While fans are still flocking to the game to experience its new content, many gamers are speculating about what might come next. Some players believe Season 2 will introduce the vampire hunter Blade, as it's currently believed the hero has been imprisoned by this season's main antagonist, Dracula.
While there's no official word on which heroes might make their debut in Season 2, leakers recently revealed the ability kit for Ultron in Marvel Rivals. Dataminers suspect the villain is nearly complete, and expect him to be added to the game in the near future. With so much new content and a thriving community, many players are excited to see what NetEase Games does with Marvel Rivals next.
