Captain America and Winter Soldier to join Marvel Rivals on launch
As a long-time Marvel enthusiast and avid gamer with a soft spot for shooters, this latest announcement at Gamescom 2024 has sent waves of excitement coursing through my veins. The prospect of wielding Captain America’s shield or feeling the cold steel of Winter Soldier’s bionic arm in Marvel Rivals is nothing short of exhilarating.
Captain America and Winter Soldier will be joining Marvel Rivals on launch.
As a thrilled fan, I couldn’t help but share the exciting news that broke today at Gamescom 2024! The legendary duo, Captain America and the Winter Soldier, are set to make their grand entrance in the upcoming Marvel Rivals shooter game upon its release. Get ready to wield Winter Soldier’s powerful bionic arm or channel Captain America’s iconic shield as you engage in epic battles within this new gaming universe!
2024’s Gamescon unveiled a thrilling trailer, confirming the presence of two characters in the forthcoming game.
Captain America gets new look in Marvel Rivals
In the newly revealed trailer, fans caught a glimpse of Captain America decked out in a robust vibranium armor, which makes him appear nearly invincible. Already, it seems like an immense challenge for adversaries to breach his protective shield.

Later, the trailer highlighted some exceptional skills of Captain America, such as charging at enemies using his shield and swiftly defeating them with a well-aimed toss.
It looks like Bucky, nicknamed the Winter Soldier, is hiding some quite extraordinary abilities (perhaps we should say… advanced capabilities in that bionic arm of his).
Winter Soldier’s moves shown in new trailer
The latest Marvel Rivals trailer showcases Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) leaping across diverse locations. His ability to leap higher than most characters suggests an extraordinary power, while his mechanical arm appears to grant him additional skills.
At certain instances, the character reaches out with an arm that functions similarly to a grappling tool, snagging onto structures and other characters. Additionally, he exhibits the ability to fire beams from his arm, and makes use of his renowned handgun.

I mean, Bucky is known for his aim.
The trailer offered a thrilling sneak peek into the game’s features and its release, highlighting that two major Marvel characters will be playable from the very start.
Marvel Rivals officially releases on December 6, 2024.
