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 in an interview with Metro that each three-month season will be split into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. This commitment to regular content updates also includes new seasonal stories and maps.

"Every season will bring fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes. We're dividing each season into two halves," Chen stated. "A season lasts three months, and each half will introduce a new hero. Our goal is to continuously enhance the experience and keep our community engaged."

This ambitious release schedule leaves players eagerly anticipating future additions. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls successfully launched with Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch in the second. Maintaining this level of high-profile character introductions will be a significant undertaking.

While the initial roster boasts popular characters like Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm, the potential hero pool is vast. Rumors suggest Blade's arrival in Season 2, and fans are hoping for the inclusion of Daredevil, Deadpool, and more X-Men. NetEase's continued success with Marvel Rivals suggests they are committed to expanding the roster significantly.

Season 1 also included substantial balance adjustments and gameplay refinements, with further improvements planned for future updates.
