DC Boss ‘Totally’ Wants To Develop Marvel Rivals Competitor Following Its Tremendous Success

Expert Verified By

DC Wants Its Own Hero Shooter!

Story Highlight
  • The DC boss clarified in an interview that he wants to develop a Marvel Rivals competitor.
  • James Gunn is open to the idea of a DC-based hero shooter, but nothing seems to be in the works right now.
  • Marvel Rivals has proven to be a highly successful release, so many brands might try chasing the same formula.

After Overwatch 2’s dominion over hero shooters, it seemed like we would never see innovation in the genre. However, Marvel Rivals has completely shifted this belief, and now even DC is interested in producing a worthy competitor in the genre.

In a new statement, DC boss James Gunn clarified that he ‘totally’ wants to develop a Marvel Rivals competitor after the game’s highly successful journey so far. 

Why it matters: The head honcho of DC wants to challenge Marvel Rivals with its own version after the game’s success. This way, we might get another great hero shooter to enjoy in the following years.

Marvel Rivals has proven to be one of the most successful free-to-play games of this year.
Marvel Rivals has dethroned Overwatch 2 as the most popular current hero shooter.

As reported by Comicbook, James Gunn spoke to the press at a recent DC Studios event and answered a query regarding Marvel Rivals. He believes it is possible to develop a DC-based competitor for the hero shooter, but nothing appears to be in the works now.

‘Totally possible, I’d be open to it.’

-James Gunn, DC Boss.

The DC boss also recently met with Rocksteady and Netherrealm Studios to discuss a new potential Batman project. So, we might be getting multiple projects from the DC universe as compelling games in the future. However, these games are likely many years away.

Batman Beyond
Rocksteady was also rumored to be working on its canceled Batman Beyond game.

Another string of rumors suggested that Rocksteady Studios was also working on a whole trilogy for the Batman Beyond series exclusive to PlayStation. However, we must curb our expectations until we hear more details.

Do you think we will get to see a Marvel Rivals competitor by DC in the future, or are these remarks just a normal PR response? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
