According to Marvel Rivals executive producer Danny Koo, the game currently features a "greatest hits" collection of characters that comprise roughly 70% of the roster, but there is room for deep cut heroes to make the cut and get a makeover that's in line with several other radical redesigns in the game.

The Legend of California hasn't even dosey-doed into early access yet, and already I've seen a flurry of comparisons being made between Kintsugiyama's upcoming Western-themed survival game and Rust. I can't say I'm surprised, considering studio lead Jeff Kaplan has marked it as a key inspiration. However, the former Blizzard VP has made it very clear early doors that this isn't some yee-haw copy-paste of Facepunch Studios' iconic shooter.
