Marvel Rivals has gotten off to a pretty impressive start since its closed beta test began earlier this week. Initially overwhelmed by the servers, the hero shooter is in the top 10 most watched games on Twitch, boasting over 68,000 active viewers. But now, with only a few days left until the end of testing, Netease is adding another surprise.
The two heroes joining the roster are Thor the God of Thunder and Jeff the Landshark (or Jeffery, to be polite). Both were revealed at San Diego Comic-Con along with a short trailer, which content creator ACozyGamer posted on X. Jeff's appearance may be one of the most chaotic entrances I've seen in a while: this half-shark, half-puppy creature jumps onto the screen and sings for almost a minute. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but I like what this little guy has to say.
Meanwhile, the trailer for the new film looks a bit more sinister, showing various heroes fighting each other in a soon-to-be ruined city. The usual suspects such as Iron Man, Black Panther, and Magneto engage in a contentious battle with Dr. Doom. It is also where Thor first appears.
Jeff the Landshark looks like adorable fan fodder, but he does seem a bit small. Still, it would be cool to see his abilities, since in the comics he is just a walking shark that bites people.
But we won't have to wait too long to find out what Jeff's abilities are. He and Thor will be added to the closed beta test tomorrow, July 26, and will stay until the test ends on August 5.
