Marvel Rivals to Add 2 Heroes Every 3 Months

NetEase Games is committed to keeping Marvel Rivals fresh and exciting for its players through regular updates. The developers plan to roll out an update approximately every six weeks, introducing two new heroes every quarter. This consistent stream of new content ensures that players always have something new to explore when they return to the game.

In a recent interview, game director Guangyun Chen revealed that each seasonal update is divided into two parts. The first half of the season introduces one new hero, while the second half brings in another. This approach keeps both the audience and the players engaged and eager for what's next.

In addition to new heroes, Marvel Rivals will also offer updates featuring new maps, storylines, and objectives. Among the characters already teased, Blade remains unplayable, while Altron has been hinted at through leaks. The entire Fantastic Four team was recently unveiled, adding to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the game.

According to the Chinese publication GameLook, Marvel Rivals has generated around $100 million globally, with a significant portion of the earnings coming from the Chinese market. Marvel, traditionally a powerhouse in the film industry, has made a successful transition into the gaming sector with this title.

Despite the negative reception of Square Enix's Avengers, Marvel Rivals has effectively filled a gap in the game-service genre. The NetEase studio has delivered a high-quality heroic shooter with a roster of compelling characters, earning positive reviews at launch.
