Ever wanted to play as an Overwatch 2 character as a Marvel Rivals character? Well, you’re in luck.
A player has recreated Marvel Rivals in Overwatch 2. If you're into hero shooters, then you may have noticed the rivalry between these two games. Although they have different characters, some similarities can be drawn between them.
For example, when we played Marvel Rivals, we couldn't help but notice that Hawkeye feels like a mix of the Shimada brothers. Did you know that Hanzo and Genji were originally designed as one character who could wield both a sword and a bow?
These similarities weren't lost on some Overwatch 2 players, and one of them, Javofo, decided to bring Marvel Rivals into the Overwatch 2 universe as a custom game mode!

- Launch Overwatch 2 and select the "Play" option from the main menu

Overwatch 2 heroes as Marvel Rivals characters
As mentioned earlier, there are some similarities between the kits of Overwatch 2 heroes and those in Marvel Rivals. Javofo recreated Hawkeye from Marvel Rivals using Hanzo's kit, for example. This version of Hanzo can shoot three explosive arrows, shoot a wind arrow that pierces through shields and opponents. To top things off, Hanzo even has Hawkeye's slash attack to knock back enemies. As for his ultimate, much like Hawkeye, Hanzo can shoot at the afterimages of his foes!
Meanwhile, for those who love Jeff the Land Shark from Marvel Rivals, they can play as Orisa in Overwatch 2. These two characters don't have many similarities, but Javofo recreated our favorite horse as Jeff anyway, and it's hilarious! Just like Jeff, this custom game mode lets Orisa swim in the ground, shoot water at enemies and allies, and spit out bubbles for speed boosts. As for Orisa's ultimate, it creates a whirlpool that pulls everyone in before spitting them out.
These are just two examples of Javofo's Marvel Rivals x Overwatch 2 shenanigans. You can watch the full video of the creator explaining the game mode above.
