Marvel Rivals Dev Commits to New Hero Every 1.5 Months

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 regularly updating the game, stating that a new playable character will be released every half-season, which translates to approximately 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, 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 solidified their place in the game, but maintaining this momentum will be a significant challenge for NetEase.

The game launched with an impressive roster of heroes, including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm. 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 other X-Men members. While the exact future of the Marvel Rivals roster remains uncertain, the game's current success suggests that NetEase is poised to keep the excitement alive.

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