Marvel Rivals Dev Promises a New Hero Every Month and a Half

NetEase Games has confirmed a robust post-launch plan for Marvel Rivals, promising a new hero every six weeks. Creative Director Guangyun Chen revealed this in an interview with Metro, detailing the season structure and content updates.

Each three-month season will be divided into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. Beyond heroes, each season will also feature fresh storylines and new maps, ensuring ongoing engagement. Chen emphasized the goal of continuously improving the player experience and maintaining community excitement.

Marvel Rivals launched with a roster including popular characters like Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, and Storm. However, the challenge lies in maintaining the high standard set by the initial heroes (Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch in Season 1). Speculation points to Blade's arrival in Season 2, with fan hopes high for characters like Daredevil and Deadpool. The game's success suggests NetEase is committed to expanding the roster significantly.

Season 1 also included substantial balance adjustments and gameplay refinements, with more updates planned. For further details on Marvel Rivals, readers can explore articles discussing the Invisible Woman's use against bots, the Hero Hot List, and the use of mods despite potential bans.
