Even asMarvel Rivalsrapidly approaches its anticipated launch date, it appears the online title has a few more secrets left to share.
While Moon Knight was directly teased inMarvel Rival’s Psylocke trailer, NetEase games has finally confirmed the anticipated character in a new trailer. Moon Knight is considered a Dualist style character, joining the likes of Winter Soldier, Punisher and others.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Moon Knight’s Abilities
While brief, the trailer gives players a good look at Moon Knight as he throws Crescent Darts that can bounce between targets. He also has access to Moon Blades that slice towards their target and can summon a sacred ankh that can be placed on the ground. However, his flashy ultimate literally calls down spectral fists of Khonshu, which slam into the ground in a wide area for sustained damage. The trailer even referencesMoon Knight’s split personalities, writing the names of Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley.
