With the dust now settled on the incredibly successful Spider-Man 2, comic and pop culture giant Marvel are looking to the future with a brand-new title that will offer something new and different to its fanbase. The third-person, 6v6 team-based shooter Marvel Rivals is making its biggest steps towards release by inviting a select number of its fans into a closed Alpha test.

While it is possible for interested players to sign up for the testing stages of the game, places are unfortunately not guaranteed due to the limited number of spots available, with 30,000 being invited from a worldwide pool of registered applicants. Nonetheless, for those looking to get involved, here is everything you need to know about the start time for the Marvel Rivals closed Alpha test.
