About Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface Map

The awakening Knull has cast a shadow over the Panther God Bast. In response, Shuri sends the Guardians of the Galaxy to Klyntar to seek out a solution to this looming threat. After the Milano crashes on Klyntar, the Guardians bump into Venom. The two sides have different opinions on how to defeat Knull: Venom, having extracted the Knull Essence from a controlled symbiote, argues for caution due to its volatile nature and the risk of harming the planet's symbiotes. With Knull still dormant, Venom prefers to wait until they can harness this power safely. On the other hand, the Guardians, tasked by Shuri, are eager to immediately neutralize Knull's influence over the gods including Bast. At an impasse, they decide to go their separate ways.

Five new heroes will be unveiled next week! A new hero will be fully revealed each day leading up to launch. The heroes include Squirrel Girl, Black Widow, Cloak & Dagger, Iron Fist and Wolverine.

The Marvel Rivals and Marvel Games team will be conducting a special AMA for fans on December 4th at 7 PM PST on the official Discord. Fans will be able to ask questions, meet the team and get all the latest updates.
