In collaboration with NetEase Games and Marvel Games, Dark Horse Books present a new way to traverse the Marvel Multiverse in The Art of Marvel Rivals. Fans of the characters and locations within the epic multiplayer, class-based shooter will see the super heroic action of Marvel Rivals come to life upon the page. The full-color hardcover art book, featuring a collection of art and developer commentary which chronicles the creation of the new Marvel hero-based game, is set to arrive in September 2025.
Players can select from a growing roster of their favorite Marvel characters to launch into combat through Multiverse-inspired battlefields. There, they fight alongside teammates against a group of equally skilled foes to see who will emerge victorious!
Explore the development of freshly reimagined icons like Iron Man, Namor, Storm, and many more—including their imitable skills and equipment and a vast wardrobe of unique costumes. The action takes place across maps inspired by Marvel’s most recognizable locales—from the spires of Yggsgard to the depths of Hydra’s Hive World. The art book contains concept art for all of these elements which can be analyzed in extreme detail.
“For Marvel Rivals we developed a distinctive artistic style and visual language that not only carries the vast and rich worldview of the Marvel Universe, but also conveys the hero’s story through the visuals. We drew inspiration from various sources such as animation and graphic design, infusing our style with bold colors and rough brushstrokes. This book details the birth, evolution, and application of this “Dynamic Comic” style we developed, and I hope it will inspire others.” – Dino Ma, Art Director, Marvel Rivals
