NetEase Games has confirmed a steady stream of new heroes for its Marvel Rivals game. Creative director Guangyun Chen revealed in an interview with Metro that a new playable character will launch every six weeks, coinciding with the release of new seasonal stories and maps. Each three-month season will be split into two halves, each introducing a new hero. This ambitious plan aims to maintain player engagement and excitement within the community.
Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls already showcased this strategy, launching with Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch in the second. While the initial roster includes popular characters like Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, and Storm, the challenge lies in sustaining this level of excitement and delivering consistently compelling new heroes.
Speculation abounds regarding future additions, with Blade rumored for Season 2 and fan hopes high for characters like Daredevil and Deadpool, among others. NetEase's commitment to regular updates, including balance changes and gameplay adjustments, further underscores their dedication to the game's long-term success. The game's current popularity suggests this strategy is paying off.
