A keen-eyed Marvel Rivals fan has spotted what appears to be the addition of Hawkeye in the game’s roster, thanks to a sneak peek during the recent Moon Knight gameplay reveal. Set for a December release, Marvel Rivals has already generated a buzz with its beta phase, which offered players a taste of action-packed gameplay featuring heroes like Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Thor. Although the game hasn’t officially launched, this potential sighting of Hawkeye hints at a robust and expanding lineup of Marvel characters.
In the beta, fans experienced Marvel Rivals’ hero shooter style, which is anticipated to receive regular updates post-launch. These updates are expected to include new maps, heroes, and even more villains, some of whom have only appeared in Marvel comics so far. The game’s future content will likely include a range of cosmetics and skins for players to customize their favorite heroes.
This potential leak comes from Reddit user Noblu8, who shared a screenshot from IGN’s coverage of Moon Knight’s gameplay reveal. The screenshot features the game’s kill feed, a visual feature similar to Overwatch 2’s, which lists defeated characters and their vanquishers, complete with character images and player names. In the feed, Hawkeye is shown to have been taken down by Winter Soldier, who is then knocked out by the Hulk. Although the image is small and somewhat unclear, it strongly resembles the iconic archer, hinting at Hawkeye's imminent entry into the Marvel Rivals universe.
As fans eagerly await December, Marvel Rivals’ growing roster and planned content updates are sure to keep players excited for the game’s debut.

Marvel Rivals may have unintentionally revealed a surprise character during Moon Knight’s gameplay showcase. Hawkeye, the skilled archer and fan-favorite Avenger, was spotted in the footage, fueling speculation about his inclusion in the game.

This detail has led some fans to believe that Marvel Rivals is subtly hinting at future heroes and villains, giving eagle-eyed viewers a sneak peek before official announcements.
If intentional, this strategy could be Marvel Rivals’ way of building hype and engaging fans in uncovering new content ahead of its December launch. The game’s growing buzz suggests this tactic may be working. With Hawkeye’s popularity bolstered by his appearances in the Avengers films and Disney Plus series, the possibility of his arrival in Marvel Rivals has sparked excitement among fans, many of whom are eager to see him join the game’s roster.
