The closed alpha will give players a chance to dive right into the game’s varied roster and unique gameplay, giving Marvel aficionados and team-based shooter enthusiasts a taste of what’s to come. Although there isn’t a strict release date yet, this closed alpha should help build even more hype for the title, while also giving the developers some time to fix any lingering bugs that are found.

From the planned first closed alpha date to how to sign up, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming testing period for Marvel Rivals happening later this year.

Marvel Rivals closed alpha release date

The Marvel Rivals closed alpha will begin on May 10, according to the very end of a video showcasing gameplay for Loki that was released on April 23.

Since it’s a closed alpha, there will most likely be a limited number of spots for players to take, so sign up while you still can. Some players will also be glad to know Marvel Rivals will be available on Steam, making it very easy for most fans to download and try out.

More information about the closed alpha will likely release before the test begins on the second Friday in May 2024, so stay tuned to the official Twitter/X account for the game as well as the official Discord for all the up to date info.

Where to sign up for Marvel Rivals closed alpha

Prospective testers can sign up for the Marvel Rivals closed alpha on the game’s official website, where you’ll be led to a form you need to fill out. You’ll need to give your email, your region, the game genres you play the most, and which first-person shooter game you’ve played ranked on the most before you’re officially set for choosing. Additionally, you can add the game to your wishlist on Steam.
