Marvel Rivals: Two New Heroes Every Quarter

NetEase Games is committed to keeping Marvel Rivals fresh and exciting for players with regular updates. The plan is to release a new update approximately every six weeks, introducing two new heroes each quarter. This ensures a constant stream of new content to draw players back into the game.

Game director Guangyun Chen revealed in an interview that each season's update is divided into two parts. The first half introduces one new hero, and the second half adds another.

This approach aims to maintain player engagement by consistently delivering fresh content. Beyond new heroes, updates will also include new maps, storylines, and objectives. Several characters have already been hinted at, including the yet-to-be-released Blade, Altron (revealed through leaks), and the recently announced full Fantastic Four team.

According to the Chinese publication GameLook, Marvel Rivals has generated approximately $100 million globally, with a significant portion coming from the Chinese market. This marks a significant step for Marvel into the gaming industry, leveraging its established cinematic dominance.

Marvel Rivals successfully fills a void in the hero-shooter genre, offering a compelling alternative after the less-than-stellar reception of Square Enix's Avengers game. NetEase's title delivers a high-quality heroic shooter experience featuring a strong roster of characters and received positive reviews upon its release.
