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

NetEase Games has confirmed a robust post-launch content roadmap for Marvel Rivals, promising a new hero every six weeks. Creative director Guangyun Chen revealed this plan in an interview with Metro, stating that each three-month season will be split into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. This commitment extends to new seasonal stories and maps alongside the character releases. Chen emphasized the goal of continuously enhancing the player experience and maintaining community engagement.

The current season, "Eternal Night Falls," has already showcased this strategy. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman launched in the first half, with The Thing and the Human Torch slated for the second. Maintaining this pace with consistently popular Marvel characters will be a significant undertaking.

Marvel Rivals boasts a strong initial roster including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, and others. However, the vast Marvel universe offers countless possibilities for future additions. Speculation points towards Blade in Season 2, with fans eagerly anticipating characters like Daredevil and Deadpool. NetEase's continued success suggests they are committed to expanding the roster.

Season 1 also included numerous balance adjustments and gameplay refinements, with more planned for future updates. For further information, explore articles covering the Invisible Woman's use against bots, the Hero Hot List, and the use of mods despite potential bans.
