Psylocke to join Marvel Rivals at launch

BBG News

As a long-time fan of Marvel comics and video games, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement as Psylocke, the Mutant Yokai Slayer, joins the Marvel Rivals roster! The trailer for this Duelist hero is nothing short of captivating, with its nod to the Demon Days comic run that has always held a special place in my heart.

It’s been revealed that Psylocke is set to be the latest combatant joining the Marvel Rivals team, making her debut simultaneously with the game’s launch.

In simple terms, Marvel Rivals unveiled its newest addition – Psylocke – who’s set to debut when the game is released. From what we see in the character’s trailer, it appears that Psylocke will belong to the Duelist class, and her main role will be dealing damage (DPS).

In this iteration, we have Psylocke, also recognized as the Mutant Yokai Executioner. Her character appears to be derived from the Demon Days comic series by Peach Momoko, where Psylocke engages in battles against Japanese demons during the region’s feudal time period.

A look at Psylocke as she joins Marvel Rivals

As a gamer, I found myself captivated as I watched the Psylocke Marvel Rivals reveal trailer unfold. It started with a trail of spiders chasing after an otherworldly pink butterfly. This ethereal creature soared upward and eventually landed on the rooftop where the newcomer Psylocke stood tall.

After that, we can gauge her skills based on the video. While it may not be completely certain, the video offers a clear understanding of her capabilities.

She possesses a knack for swiftly advancing, momentarily vanishing from sight, and there’s an impression that she could acquire a supercharged version reminiscent of the Hulk transformation experienced by Bruce Banner.

First, she commences linking a sequence of hits, whether it’s her basic attack or possibly a segment of her Ultimate skill. Hang in there until the end, and you might catch a hint suggesting Moon Knight could join the game.

Who is Psylocke?

On December 6, 2024, you’ll find Psylocke among the characters when Marvel Rivals launches. That gives you ample opportunity to delve into her background before sharing your insights while playing with strangers in queues.

In the storyline, both Betsy Braddock and Kwannon have been known as Psylocke. Let’s explore their portrayal in the “Demon Days” comic.

This character’s katana, distinctive purple hair, and concealed face make it obvious that this portrayal is modeled after a certain run. Being a member of both the X-Men and New Mutants, she has appeared in numerous limited series, and in the past, she even had her own comic book series.
