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

NetEase Games confirms a robust post-launch plan for Marvel Rivals, promising a new hero every six weeks. This commitment, revealed by Creative Director Guangyun Chen in an interview with Metro, ensures a steady stream of fresh content.

Each three-month season will be divided into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. Chen emphasizes the goal of continuously enhancing the player experience and maintaining community excitement. "Every season we’ll be rolling out fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes. We’ll actually be breaking down each season into two halves," he stated.

Marvel Rivals launched with a strong roster including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, and others, but the challenge lies in maintaining the high standard of character introductions. Season 1, featuring Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch, set a high bar. Speculation for Season 2 includes Blade, with fans eagerly anticipating the arrival of characters like Daredevil and Deadpool.

Beyond new heroes, NetEase plans ongoing balance adjustments and gameplay refinements. The studio's commitment to frequent updates, coupled with the game's initial success, suggests a promising future for Marvel Rivals.
