Marvel Rivals, initially a formidable opponent, has thrived, while Overwatch, originally considered its main competitor, has struggled since it was launched in December by NetEase. Marvel Rivals has swiftly conquered the gaming community, amassing tens of millions of players and dominating global social and streaming rankings.
Compared to its previous version or other games in the same genre, Overwatch 2 seems to be facing some challenges. Issues such as low player numbers and a perceived lack of significant updates have been raised, and the game that was once considered the leader in the hero shooter category appears to be experiencing difficulties.
‘The Overwatch 2 Launch Was Abysmal’
In his latest live broadcast, Ninja discussed the current status of Marvel Rivals and Overwatch. He highlighted that Overwatch 2 has been struggling since its launch in October 2022, a sentiment shared by many players. It was often criticized as being more like an upgrade (Overwatch 1.5), and even transitioning to a free-to-play model didn’t significantly improve the game’s outlook.
He criticized the launch of Overwatch 2 as a complete failure, before going on to argue that Marvel Rivals is currently dominating the scene.
Overwatch is dead and gone.
Truly regrettable, let me clarify. Firstly, it’s worth noting they are releasing a fresh map soon, which is absolutely amazing. Secondly, their extensive lore, abundance of heroes, villains, and anti-heroes mean they have enough content for updates for the next decade.

At present, the genre of action games centered around heroes is thriving. Marvel Rivals stands out as a standout, but even so, enthusiasts of this type of game are still finding joy and excitement in the upcoming release of Valve’s Deadlock. This title has garnered acclaim from some of the most influential streamers in the industry on a global scale.
In simple terms, the game VALORANT, which features hero shooting with a strong competitive scene, is currently experiencing rapid expansion and widespread appeal.
