Marvel Rivals: Fan Reactions to Moon Knight's Design Leaks

Though Marvel Rivals is still months away from its official release, that hasn’t stopped the growing community from diving into leaks and speculations. While opinions on the gameplay remain somewhat divided, one thing fans are largely united on is their admiration for the character designs. The game features stunning redesigns of beloved heroes and villains, keeping true to their iconic looks while introducing fresh, modern elements. Among the most talked-about designs is none other than the moonlit vigilante himself, Moon Knight.

On Reddit, user PK-Ricochet posted a leaked image showing Moon Knight’s look in Marvel Rivals, and it’s generating excitement from both fans of the character and newcomers.

The leak reportedly originated from Miller Ross, a prominent figure known for accurately predicting several Marvel-related reveals. Although his track record lends credibility to the leak, it’s still wise to hold off on full judgment until an official reveal. The image, which shows only Moon Knight’s mask, hood, and upper body, has already drawn praise from eager fans. One user, SuperSaberman7, encapsulated the hype by simply stating, “This goes so hard!”

Moon Knight’s Popularity Continues to Soar

Moon Knight has become increasingly popular, especially after the success of his Marvel Cinematic Universe series. Even before his TV debut, the character was already a favorite among comic book readers, thanks to his unique visual style and engaging storylines.

Including Moon Knight in Marvel Rivals feels like a perfect fit, as his Khonshu-bestowed powers offer plenty of opportunities for distinctive gameplay mechanics. While he might not wield the raw strength of heroes like Hulk or Thor, data-mined information suggests that Moon Knight’s abilities will revolve around tactical advantages. His kit will likely include techniques for stunning opponents and revealing hidden enemies, making him a highly situational but essential pick when used strategically.

Some of the rumored abilities involve moves like Lunakinesis, which sends crescent darts ricocheting between enemies, and Lunar Chain, a grappling hook-like tool that enhances mobility. As with the design leak, none of these abilities have been confirmed, so players should keep a pinch of skepticism handy.

Our Take: Marvel Rivals Artwork Shines Bright

Though I’m not someone who typically invests much time into hero-shooters anymore—I had my fill with Overwatch years ago—the artistic direction of Marvel Rivals deserves some serious recognition. The design team has consistently delivered fantastic character art, and it’s hard not to be impressed with what they’ve showcased so far.

If this Moon Knight leak holds true, it looks like the game's design team has knocked it out of the park again. I can’t wait to see the full reveal of Moon Knight, and I’m equally excited to see how they handle other iconic Marvel characters. Even if Marvel Rivals doesn’t make it to my regular playlist, its artwork alone is something to keep an eye on.
