Summary
OneMarvel Rivalsplayer recently pitched the inclusion of Nightcrawler, garnering strong support from a multitude of other fans. Nightcrawler is a prominent Marvel character and, hence, a popular choice to be a future addition toMarvel Rivals.
Since officially rolling out on December 6,Marvel Rivalshas taken over the gaming community by storm. As a matter of fact, the hero shooter game sees a footfall of at least a few hundred thousand players every day across platforms, with a 24-hour peak of more than370K players on Steamat the time of writing. In spite ofMarvel Rivalsseemingly having cheating-related issues, it has continued to be one of the leading online multiplayer titles available, thanks partly to its unique take on the hero shooter genre with a Marvel-inspired twist. WhileX-Mencharacters—such as Wolverine, Storm, and Magneto—are already in the game, it appears that there’s another mutant that players eagerly want to see join in on the action.
On Reddit, user noxlotl shared a fan edit depicting Nightcrawler as astrategist-type character inMarvel Rivals’s menu, stirring an interesting conversation among fans. Some of them highlighted that they want Nightcrawler in the game, even though there are chances that the latter’s teleportation ability could be tricky to go up against. Despite agreeing with the post’s idea, user Educational_Goal5877 noted how having opposing players teleport could be “so annoying,” whereas user GBKMBushidoBrown also shared similar concerns while talking about the possibility of the mutant character being able to help allies teleport and heal at the same time.

In just a span of two days, noxlotl’s Reddit post gained 3.7K upvotes on the marvelrivals subreddit and received dozens of comments that approved of Nightcrawler’s addition toMarvel Rivals. Such a positive reception suggests that a considerable number of players are apparently in favor of the X-Men member’s inclusion. It’s worth noting that theMarvel Rivalscommunity has usually been quite vocal about what they want developer NetEase Games to bring to the game next. Lately, they have also pitchedenabling the hero ban option for allMarvel Rivalscompetitive matches, regardless of the players' rank.
Being a key Marvel superhero, Nightcrawler’s arrival seems only like a matter of time. But, fans can’t say for sure when that may happen, given there are little to no signs pointing towards the same so far. However, since there are other rumors brewing about characters likeDeadpool and Captain Marvel making their way intoMarvel Rivalssoon, it’s safe to assume players are set to have enough new content to keep them engaged as they wait for their favorite characters to join the roster.
