NetEase Games has confirmed a robust post-launch content plan for Marvel Rivals, promising a new hero every six weeks. Creative Director Guangyun Chen revealed this during an interview with Metro, stating that each three-month season will be divided into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. This commitment extends to seasonal story updates and new maps alongside the hero releases. Chen emphasized the goal of consistently enhancing the player experience and maintaining community engagement.
The first season, "Eternal Night Falls," already showcased this plan, launching with Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, and The Thing and the Human Torch slated for the second. While these iconic Marvel characters provide a strong foundation, maintaining this release pace with equally popular heroes will be a significant undertaking.
Marvel Rivals boasts a diverse initial roster including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, and Storm, among others. However, speculation abounds regarding future additions. Rumors point to Blade's appearance in Season 2, with fan hopes high for characters like Daredevil and additional X-Men. NetEase's continued success with the game suggests a commitment to expanding the roster significantly.
Beyond new heroes, Season 1 also included substantial balance adjustments and gameplay refinements, with further updates promised.
