Marvel Rivals Giant-Size Hive Mind mode explained

In the Giant-Size Hive Mind mode, everyone on your team takes on the same hero. For example, you can have five Loki players on your team duking it out against five opponents who are the Hulk! Will team Loki outsmart team Hulk, or will there be a repeat of that one moment in The Avengers? There's only one way to find out.

New Giant-Size Hive Mind mode gets random hero selection

This Giant-Size Hive Mind mode is played in Tokyo 2099: Ninomaru, which is also a Conquest map. In terms of hero selection, it's random! You can think of it like the Mystery Heroes game mode in Overwatch 2, except everyone on your team is guaranteed to be the same character.
