No, Overwatch’s Season 1 Heroes Didn’t Copy Marvel Rivals, But They Did Copy This Game

Overwatch Season 1 is here, and with the relaunch comes five brand-new heroes that are pulling plenty of gamers back to the hero shooter. Overwatch’s huge update is proving successful, as not only is it outperforming Marvel Rivals on Steam (a platform that Overwatch more or less treats as an afterthought thanks to battle.net), but its Twitch numbers have skyrocketed. While it will be interesting to see what happens when the Twitch Drops end and the hype dies down, Overwatch’s comeback has been impressive to watch — even if some Rivals fans have been quick to criticize the game for “stealing” concepts from their hero shooter of choice.
