Marvel Heroes Monthly Additions Revealed

NetEase Games is committed to keeping Marvel Rivals fresh with regular updates. The plan is to release updates approximately every six weeks, introducing two new heroes each quarter. This ensures players always have something new to explore.

Game director Guangyun Chen revealed in an interview that each season's update is divided into two parts: one new hero in the first half, and another in the second.

This approach maintains player engagement. Beyond new heroes, Marvel Rivals will also feature updated maps, storylines, and objectives. Previously announced characters include Blade (currently unavailable) and Ultron (revealed through leaks), along with the recently confirmed addition of the entire Fantastic Four.

According to GameLook, a Chinese publication, the game generated approximately $100 million globally, with a significant portion coming from the Chinese market. This marks a substantial move into gaming for Marvel, a powerhouse in the film industry.

Marvel Rivals successfully filled a void in the hero-shooter genre following the less-than-stellar reception of Square Enix's Avengers. NetEase delivered a high-quality heroic shooter boasting a compelling roster of characters, earning positive reviews upon its release.
