Hawkeye and Hela to be Nerfed in Marvel Rivals

The developers of Marvel Rivals are deep in final preparations for the launch of Season 1 of their dynamic team-based shooter. Beyond addressing the frame rate issues affecting lower-end PC players, they’re gearing up for a wave of major announcements.

A recent leak suggests an official schedule is already circulating online. According to the information, tomorrow will bring the debut of the highly anticipated Season 1 trailer, along with the official reveals of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and one additional new hero. Players can also expect the unveiling of a brand-new map designed to shake up combat dynamics and strategic play.

In addition, the team plans to launch their dedicated developer blog, which will serve as a hub for ongoing updates—particularly detailed breakdowns of balance changes. If the leak holds true, Hela and Hawkeye are slated for nerfs, as both heroes are widely seen as overpowered, especially in long-range engagements where their ability to trade damage efficiently gives them a significant edge.

On the flip side, characters like Venom, Captain America, Wolverine, Storm, and Cloak and Dagger are expected to receive meaningful buffs to improve their viability in competitive play. With Season 1 launching later this week, all eyes are on the developers to confirm these changes and set the stage for a balanced, action-packed new era.
