Hawkeye Looks Unstoppable in Epic Marvel Rivals Trailer Reveal


As a seasoned Marvel enthusiast who has seen the evolution of our favorite archer since his debut in 1964, I must say that the reveal of Hawkeye as a playable hero in Marvel Rivals is nothing short of exhilarating! Clint Barton’s journey from a troubled past to becoming a master marksman is a testament to human resilience and perseverance.


As a gaming enthusiast, I’m all geared up for Marvel Rivals’ upcoming release in December. The roster of 27 playable heroes is already impressive, but there are more on the horizon! Among them, the enigmatic archer who’s been the talk of the town – Hawkeye. And now, the cat’s out of the bag as Marvel Rivals has officially unveiled him as a playable hero!

Deadly at Range

Just as anticipated, Hawkeye demonstrates mastery over long-range assaults, employing his bow to launch an assortment of special arrows against enemies before they can approach him. The preview highlights this talent immediately, displaying Hawkeye landing precise shots on adversaries and earning several knockouts throughout.

Individuals who pause briefly to focus their shots precisely in the thick of the battle will reap the benefits of powerful strikes, as he demonstrates by landing several impressive knockouts right from the start. Later on, we witness him swapping arrows, one of which appears to generate a tiny whirlwind towards the target. Subsequently, another arrow is used, and it seems to deliver an explosive force that Hawkeye employs to inflict harm on his adversary at a relatively close distance.

Time for Swords

In another turn of events, it appears as if he’s using guided arrows to zero in on his targets, based on his cheeky comment, “You can’t escape this one.” As an adversary jumps at him, Hawkeye draws his sword and pushes the opponent away, causing them to fall off the edge. We next witness a series of actions where he deflects an attack with his swords, followed promptly by another strike that propels Winter Soldier off the ledge as well.

Subsequently, he demonstrates an impressive power which infuses his bow with energy, resulting in several shots that seem to project duplicates of himself near his adversary. This enables him to descend and deliver the fatal strike against both Winter Soldier and Doctor Strange.

The video’s formal summary offers some understanding of Hawkeye’s background and skills. This account states that Clint Barton faced challenging circumstances from his early years and had a difficult childhood. Despite these hardships, he honed his extraordinary marksmanship abilities to an unmatched degree.

The narrative goes on, detailing that Hawkeye stands poised, readying his Penetrating Arrow for a precise shot at the opportune moment. Equipped to engage foes regardless of range, his Explosive Arrow promises chaos for those foolish enough to approach him. Diverting attacks from adversaries is no simple feat, but he’s eagerly anticipating the battle.

Marvel Rivals is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on December 6th.
