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

NetEase Games has exciting news for Marvel Rivals players: a new hero will launch every month and a half! Creative director Guangyun Chen revealed this ambitious post-launch plan in an interview with Metro. Each three-month season will be split into two halves, with a new playable character debuting in each. This means at least one fresh hero every six weeks, ensuring a constant influx of new gameplay experiences. Chen emphasized the studio's commitment to enhancing the game and keeping the community engaged with fresh seasonal stories, maps, and heroes.

This rapid release schedule leaves players eagerly anticipating each new character reveal. 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. While these iconic Marvel characters provide a strong foundation, maintaining this momentum will be a significant challenge.

Marvel Rivals already boasts a compelling roster including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm. However, the potential for future additions is vast. Rumors suggest Blade might appear in Season 2, while fans eagerly await the introduction of characters like Daredevil and other X-Men. NetEase's continued success with the game suggests they're prepared to meet this challenge.

Season 1 also introduced numerous balance changes and gameplay tweaks, with more planned for future updates.
