Marvel Unveils Bi-Quarterly Hero Additions

by Carter Feb 23,2025

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 strategy maintains player engagement. Beyond new heroes, Marvel Rivals will also feature updates including new 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 has generated approximately $100 million globally, with a significant portion originating from the Chinese market. This marks a substantial move for Marvel, a powerhouse in film, into the gaming arena.

Marvel Rivals successfully fills 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 with a compelling roster of characters, receiving positive reviews upon its initial release.
