Fans Go Wild for Playable Doctor Octopus Concept in Marvel Rivals

A creative player has developed a playable Doctor Octopus concept for the popular hero shooter Marvel Rivals, showcasing impressive mechanics through a 30-second video. This indie developer, known as WickedCube, drew inspiration from an inability to play the game during a PSN outage, leading him to create a rough prototype featuring Doc Ock, complete with unique abilities like Havoc Claw and Wrecking Grip. The video has gained significant attention, with fans expressing their desire for NetEase Games to incorporate this character into the game. Despite no official announcement regarding Doc Ock's inclusion, WickedCube plans to share further concepts and tutorials as he explores additional characters.

While there are currently no official plans to add Doctor Octopus to Marvel Rivals, the strong fan reception of WickedCube's concept suggests a vocal demand for such a character. WickedCube himself is eager to see his ideas adopted should Doc Ock become a playable character.

Marvel Rivals is a multiplayer hero shooter by NetEase Games that has seen rapid growth in its character roster since launching. Following characters from the Fantastic Four, the game is praised for its engaging gameplay and plans for consistent new content, which helps maintain player interest in the expansive Marvel Universe. This landscape of heroes and villains provides ample opportunity for creativity and player-driven content like WickedCube's Doctor Octopus.
