Hey Rivals!
Get ready for an illuminating addition to the Marvel Rivals lineup! This December, the fist of Khonshu, Moon Knight, will join our launch roster as the latest Duelist hero. Mark your calendars for December 6th UTC 00:00, when Moon Knight steps into the fray!
Mercenary Marc Spector was given a second chance at life when he became the avatar of the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu. As Moon Knight, he doles out righteous vengeance, locked in a never-ending battle with both the criminals on the streets and the voices in his head.
At Khonshu's behest, Marc doles out righteous vengeance against those from across all timelines that challenge his master, putting him at odds with everyone from the mystic evils of Doctor Doom to the unknowable, alien darkness that threatens mortals and gods alike. In Marvel Rivals, Moon Knight wields this supernatural powers bestowed by Khonshu to vanquish his foes.
"Leave them to Khonshu!"
When crafting Moon Knight's in-game persona, the development team incorporated a color scheme of white and black, drawing from the rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian mythology linked with Khonshu, and added "Egyptian Faience" material to his costume design, infusing Moon Knight's appearance with a mystical and exotic allure. Then, departing from the traditional form-fitting suit seen in the comics, the team integrated technological components and rugged armor motifs into the character's design. This enhances the visual impact while aligning with the game's aesthetic, allowing Moon Knight's aggressive combat style to seamlessly intertwine with the gameplay. Moon Knight can summon a portal above the battlefield, connecting him to the cosmos and summoning the formidable and enigmatic arms of Khonshu, rendering his enemies defenseless.
Prepare to glide through the skies and unleash Moon Knight's lunar power on December 6th! Until then, stay tuned for more updates and sneak peeks!
