From leaks to confirmation

Interestingly, the announcement pretty much lines up with what the leakers had hinted at. A while ago, the PlayStation Game Size X account had spotted something on Sony's servers called Marvel Rivals version 01.01.

At the time it, seemed like just a placeholder, but now we know it was the truth; and the timing of that leak matches up exactly to the September 12 release date confirmation.

A delayed yet welcome release for Marvel Rivals on PS4

For many, it’s still strange to see a brand-new competitive game like Marvel Rivals finding its way to the PS4 in 2025. This console hit shelves back when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was still in its first phase.

While other studios are phasing out support for last-gen hardware, NetEase is making sure players who haven’t moved to PS5 yet can still dive into the hero shooter.

The Marvel Rivals PS4 release date drops right as Season 4 goes live, meaning Daredevil, Angela, and the fresh Heart of the Dragon content will be there from the start.
