NetEase Games has confirmed a steady stream of new heroes for its Marvel Rivals game. According to creative director Guangyun Chen, a new playable character will be released every six weeks, coinciding with the launch of new seasonal content. Each three-month season will be split into two halves, each introducing a new hero. This commitment to regular updates aims to maintain player engagement and continuously enhance the gaming experience.
Marvel Rivals Season 1, themed "Eternal Night Falls," showcased this plan by initially releasing Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch. While the initial roster boasts popular characters like Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, and Storm, the future holds immense potential for expansion. Speculation points towards Blade's arrival in Season 2, with fans eagerly anticipating the inclusion of Daredevil, Deadpool, and other X-Men.
Beyond new heroes, NetEase plans to continue refining the game through balance adjustments and gameplay improvements. Season 1 already included significant updates, addressing issues and enhancing overall gameplay. The game's success to date suggests NetEase is committed to long-term support and expansion of the Marvel Rivals universe. Further details on upcoming content can be found in various news sources covering player strategies, balance changes, and community discussions regarding modding.
