Marvel Rivals Dev Commits to Bi-Monthly Hero Releases

NetEase Games has exciting news for Marvel Rivals enthusiasts: a new hero will be introduced every month and a half as part of their ongoing seasonal updates. This announcement was made clear by the studio's creative director, Guangyun Chen, during his interview with Metro. Chen emphasized the team's commitment to a steady stream of content, promising a new playable character every half-season, which translates to roughly every six weeks.

"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," Chen explained. "The length of one season is three months. And for each half of the season, we will introduce a new hero. We just eventually want to continue to enhance the experience and keep everyone excited in our community."

With each season drawing to a close, fans will eagerly speculate about which hero will be next. Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls set a robust foundation by introducing Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, with The Thing and the Human Torch scheduled for the second half in just a few weeks. These iconic characters from the Marvel universe have already made a significant impact, and maintaining this momentum will be a thrilling challenge for the developers.

The game launched with an impressive roster featuring heroes like Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm. However, there are countless other characters waiting in the wings. For instance, Blade is rumored to make an appearance in Season 2, while fans are also clamoring for characters such as Daredevil, Deadpool, and other X-Men members. While the exact future of the Marvel Rivals roster remains a mystery, the game's early success indicates that NetEase is fully committed to expanding and enhancing the game.

In addition to new heroes, Marvel Rivals Season 1 brought a series of balance changes and general gameplay tweaks, with more updates on the horizon.
