New symbiote map revealed for Marvel Rivals

NetEase Games also announced a new symbiotic map coming to Marvel Rivals, just in time for this year’s trilogy-capper Venom: The Last Dance. This map is set in Klyntar, a prison planet meant to cage the symbiote king Knull. The map features some pretty grim and alien-looking imagery compared to the game’s more colourful urban maps, marking a refreshing change from its more typical fare. 

Marvel Rivals launches on December 6, 2024.
