Some cool things to note -- 1) they used the ACTUAL Wakandan Alphabet to spell out "Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda" at the beginning of the trailer 2) The flame + symbol at the end of the trailer is actually the symbol of KOKOU of the Orisha, the god of war in the Wakandan pantheon!
Another thing to note: the symbols in 0:44 seem to represent Khonshu (on the left) and the moon (on the right) with some wakandan god in the middle. This was also in the outro for the Star's Aligned trailer when they first showed the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. And moon knight's trailer was in Wakanda too. So, I'm guessing there's some kind of link between Wakanda and Moon Knight that involve's their gods. After all, in the season reveal on a few days ago, they said that there's a 'chronoverse 'where "Even the Gods can Die" So I think there's something there
@MarvelRivalsGuides - do you think the god doing the flame is a hint of stage hazards? Also I could be mistaken but did James in the discord say there would be reveals tomorrow?
Man, ifs gonna be hard to appreciate all the time and effort they put into making this stunning map when everyone will be trying to blast each other to pieces. But I’ll be sure to take a little time while I play to just take in the maps you guys made for this game! 🤩
The futurism concept on itself is pretty cool, that recent metroidvania called Nine Sols also features cool aesthetics based on southern asia in a futuristic way. Future Russia in that weird Bioshock-like game is another example
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I partial to cassette futurism myself, ala Alien, Bladerunner, and Signalis. Even some aspects of Warhammer 40k adopt this style, like Darktide.
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Okay, but we're talking about Afro-futurism. You can make your own comment highlighting those instead of hijacking and taking away another.
@@Jormyyy Cassette futurism is also pretty cool, a shame the continuity usually struggles, Alien and Star Wars keep jumping back and forth with the technology
@@duncanw5644I tried OW2 for the first time after the beta because I heard that it was the main source of inspiration for the game. I loved the beta so I tried the game for a few months and I thought it was great, but then I realized how bad it really was. I miss Marvel Rivals bro…
At 1:05, the symbol you see is aparently the Wakandan god of war Kokou. One of the developers said so in the official discord server. But, the symbols in 0:44 seem to represent the wakandan gods thoth (on the left) and ptah (on the right) who’s brother of khonshu. This was also in the outro for the Star's Aligned trailer when they first showed the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda. And moon knight's trailer was in Wakanda too. So, I'm guessing there's some kind of link between Ptah and Khonshu that involve's Wakanda and Moon Kight. After all, in the season reveal on a few days ago, they said that there's a 'chronoverse 'where "Even the Gods can Die" So I think there's something there
Yep, that "even the gods can die" line got my attention (kudos for Guanguang or whatever you spell his name, english is pretty hard for people who don't have a latin or germanic foundation, appreciate the effort, learning is always a good thing). As far as I know, Moon Knight and Black Panther never had a connection in the comics, if the devs are taking advantage of this new multiverse to include new ideas, like these two heroes joining forces to save their gods, that's pretty cool. Reminds me of Kislev in Total War Warhammer "3", the whole premise is to save their dying god, however, other factions have their own interest (mostly selfish and evil interests). We don't know the literary chinese cliches and whatnot, their culture is not as exposed as the japanese in the west, who knows if they can provide interesting spins to the Marvel played out stories or not. But overall, I do think the team-ups needs a narrative reason to exist, I'm curious to know the reason why the hell Black Panther can use Magik teleports, Magik never interacted with Black Panther in the comics as far as I know (meanwhile Storm don't have a team-up with her own husband lol)
@@RRRRRRRRR33 Ik, the storm team up thing litterally exists in comics. Litterally have it where is storm hits him with lightning, he gets infused with it and can combine it with a vibranium burst. They said they'd rotate team ups per season so I hope that's the next one they have. Second, yeah it's intresting that the Wakandan gods are being connected to Egyptian gods here. With Ptah and Khonshu being related and Bast aparently being known as bastest in egyptian mythology, you think they'd have a connection in comics. I think this lore is crazy interesting if you dig deep enough
@@jboy544 I hope they rotate the team-up buffs, like Venom 100+ HP in the beta... however, I assumed that was only a thing if he was paired with Spiderman, but nope, it's activated by default. The buffs should only be a thing if the characters are paired, then switch around these buffs between seasons to incentivize team play. As for the lore, I guess the chinese has this trope of interacting with gods on a more grounded level, instead of western folklore were gods are unreachable
Considering in actual egyptian mythology Ptah is seen as the got of creation, could be a whole thing of Wakanda being the product of people creation and invention
@@mrrip7184 Wakanda is based of and in Africa, it reveres MY African culture and even in the the Black Panther movie I was able to notice that the citizens of Wakanda speak a variety of languages from Africa. Honestly, seeing my culture represented so powerfully makes me feel great.
@@Manoplys it dont Really show any african culture stuff though except mabye the tribal appearance of clothing and weapons. Was that what you referred to?
It looks...impressive but I miss the EMH version of Wakanda T'Challa spoke of. "In Wakanda, science and mysticism work together, to accomplish things neither could do alone." Sadly...in the MCU, magic doesn't exist; not even after the LITERAL Sorcerer Supreme came to the big screen
I don't even know where does Space Wakanda even comes from in the comics At the end of Secret Wars Wakanda opens a space program, then suddenly T'Challa starts talking about a space Wakanda like it has always been a thing
They have over the top technology, anything goes. Most likely Space Wakanda is a thing on recent comics, the MCU exploded the popularity of Black Panther, the comics must have taken advantage of the trend. Venom is another example, the Knull storyline is super recent, it's from 2020 if I'm not mistaken
My only complaint about marvel rivals in comparison to OW is the music. The Music is great don't get ne wrong, but I do not like the Electric Guitar. I nuch prefer the orchestral feeling that OW gives and I'd love it if the Rivals theme was orchestral too. In this one it sounded really nice and I need more of this one, but less electric guitar

I can't wait to hear "Pick your hero! Or villain" on this map with that music
Having Black Knight as a Tank hero would be amazing! Especially if you add a New Avalon map to go along with it! It would be a dream come true
Reject Overwatch, Embrace Marvel Rivals!
Overwatch better
@@epzo Nuh uh
not the same, boy
I've been playing overwatch for like 7 years now and i really hope this kills it

I think your gonna have a good time my guy
Good lord that music is beautiful
I ain't ever gotten chills watching a stage trailer before but man this is so beautiful ❤

Black Panther: Wakanda will be reorganized, INTO THE FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE!
Love the design of this map! The lead up to the release of this game has been a wild ride and it just keeps getting better. Can't wait for launch!
Thank you for tiding me over with your gameplay until release 😚 big ups

RIP Chadwick Boseman...the one and only.
Wow wow who’s that they just teased at the end?
Mephisto? Idk tho he’s not in the files
I *think* it might be Human Torch. He *is* one of the leaked characters, after all.
@@braingamer5820 It seems to demonic/evil to be human torch, but who knows

My guess is Dormammu
This map is beautiful, Overwatch levels of detail if not better.
AND everything is destroyable

this music is amazing
Immaculate that’s the best word description for this level
Trying to cope with overwatch rn waiting for this to release is so hard lmao
Neat
I hope my old friend can handle these maps
I am not worthy of seeing this with my dirty eyes 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I can just see the mother of King T'challa just bragging away about this stuff. Imagine all this being in the MCU.
The game looks so good almost looks realistic from certain angles
Chadwick would be so proud to see this :)
i hope they add wiccan, or iceman, or mothra, or white tiger.
i wonder how they will do the spidermans.
as skins with different va's hopefully.

so far this game is looking even more promising following the beta, another hero reveal soon please
Looks like we got 6 more being released before launch so it will be real soon!
WAKANDA FOREVAA
I’m impressed with the wakanda statues ngl they’re good but living on a meteor is better
So excited!!!
every since i’ve played this, ow has not been the same
This is like the mom can we have numbani at home meme but reversed
Netease! Put slapstick into the game, and my life is yours!
This is a real thing in the comics btw
Level Design looks incredible. Cannot wait to jump in!
Such a beautiful map to look at. Now I wonder how it plays
This is beautiful!!!
I miss Jeff so much I'm literally crying lmao the wait has been immeasurable
I took the whole week off for launch! Had vacation to burn up before new years anyway
At the end is a Teaser For Ghost Panther either playable or a Skin for BP
No I think it just stage hazards or maybe mephisto
they revealed it in their discord, it's Kokou
@@evanroxander7062 thanks I was just guessing but good to hear something with actual evidence
The Vibes!🫧🖤💜
Seriously love how they are getting soo much inspiration from the comics for these maps. Low key hoping there’s at least a PvE
No. Overwatch made that mistake last time, it’s better to just add a few PvE events every season instead.
@@duncanw5644true
No pve. PLease stop with these PVE comments.
@@SiddeshlowkTY this game dosent need to focus on the useless and focus more on the main reason ppl are playing
Wow I didn't think people were against pve go to overwatch with that mindset let us marvel fans want a story
Please take my money 😁
I love the color style!
Nobody talks about the tease at the end of the video?
Any idea what it is?
Let’s freaking Go
Looking really cool as usual.
what a beautiful landscape! I can't wait to absolutely destroy it
Yeaaaa i want to play this game!!!!

1:04 human torch
YESSSS
God this looks beautiful
This looks dope but I thought Wakanda was anti colonization?
These Wakandans are different and kinda lost they way until they came under the rule of Emperor T’Challa and wakanda prime on earth
The disney cash flow 😭😭
Did you see the Disney x Epic Games where now they’re building a disney metaverse virtual world inside Fortnite 😭😭😂😂😂
@platinumanalogy oh ya I remember that 🙏🏿🙏🏿
the new hero is black panther
Even blacker panther, YIBABE!
It looks really amazing I just hope they optimize this game better, because even on strong hardware this game runs kinda poorly
