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 the game's ongoing seasons. This announcement was made by the studio's creative director, Guangyun Chen, during an interview with Metro. Chen emphasized the team's commitment to enriching the game experience, stating, "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. 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, you know, keep everyone excited in our community."

This ambitious plan raises anticipation among fans about which heroes will be added next. Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls set a strong precedent by introducing Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch in the second half. These iconic characters have set a high bar, and maintaining this momentum will be crucial for the game's continued success.

The game launched with an impressive roster including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm, among others. Speculation is rife about future additions, with characters like Blade rumored for Season 2, and fans eagerly awaiting the possible inclusion of Daredevil, Deadpool, and more X-Men members. Given the game's current success, NetEase Games shows no signs of slowing down in expanding the Marvel Rivals universe.

In addition to new heroes, Season 1 brought a series of balance changes and gameplay tweaks, with more updates promised in the future.
