#RIVALS OF AETHER RANKINGS PRO#
Rivals has a pro league, the Rivals Championship Series, and two spin-offs. The cast of Rivals are anthropomorphic animals, each of whom has been imbued with particular elemental powers, as part of a larger struggle between warring civilizations on the planet Aether.

Like Smash, characters win in Rivals by throwing their opponents off-screen, rather than fighting to a knockout. The original creator of Rivals, Fornace, worked at Microsoft Studios between 20, where he was the lead designer on the first season of content for the 2013 revival of Killer Instinct. It’s self-billed as a “platform fighter,” putting it in the same genre as Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros., and was built by and for fans of that series. The original game, Rivals of Aether, debuted on Windows and Xbox One in 2017. The Aether games currently on the market will continue, at least for now, to be published through creator Dan Fornace‘s self-titled LLC. It’s also planned to serve as the “front-facing home” of future work in the Aether universe, which includes a forthcoming series of comic books. The makers of the hit indie game Rivals of Aether announced Monday that they’ve founded a new studio in Seattle to continue work on their next game.Īether Studios is being built around its first project, a new, still-untitled fighting game with 3D graphics that’s set in the same universe as Rivals of Aether. Aether Studios’ 3D follow-up to Rivals of Aether was teased on April 1 via Twitch.
