NetEase has confirmed it will be adding Thanos to Marvel Rivals, giving us our first look at how the Mad Titan will appear in-game. The iconic MCU villain won’t be a playable character, at least not yet, but the mode that will introduce him to the game sounds pretty special.

As is often the case when Thanos shows up in comics, movies, and now a hero shooter, in Rivals, players will be tasked with teaming up to take him down. Not just in a standard team of six, but as a team of 50 in an all-new mode that will see scores of you working together to defeat Thanos and his army.

If you think that’s starting to sound a little bit like Rivals is about to have a mode where you can play through Avengers: Endgame’s final battle with a rotating roster of heroes and villains, you’d be right. It’s exactly that. Not only will you be teaming up with 49 other players, but the battleground on which you will throw down with Thanos will be the ruins of the Avengers compound, just like it is in Endgame after Nebula successfully brings her father through time to lay waste to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes’ HQ.

We’ve not been shown how that will look in-game, but it sounds a lot like we’re going to feel like we’re reliving one of the most iconic moments in movie history every time we start a new match and face off against Thanos. I’m no Captain America main, but if the mode includes someone saying “on your left” as the match begins when you play as Cap’, I’ll be The First Avenger every single time.
