Marvel Rivals Dev Promises a New Hero Every Month and a Half

by Charlotte Feb 21,2025

NetEase Games has confirmed a robust post-launch content plan for Marvel Rivals, promising a new hero every six weeks. This commitment was revealed by Creative Director Guangyun Chen in an interview with Metro. Each three-month season will be divided into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. Beyond heroes, each season will also feature new seasonal stories and maps.

"Every season will bring fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes. We're dividing each season into two halves," Chen stated. "A season lasts three months, and each half will introduce a new hero. Our goal is to continuously enhance the experience and keep our community engaged."

This ambitious schedule leaves players eagerly anticipating each new hero reveal. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls already showcased Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, with The Thing and the Human Torch slated for the second. Maintaining this level of high-profile character introductions will be a significant undertaking.

While the initial roster boasts popular characters like Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, and Storm, the potential for future additions is vast. Rumors suggest Blade's appearance in Season 2, and fans are hopeful for the inclusion of Daredevil, Deadpool, and other X-Men. NetEase's continued success with Marvel Rivals suggests they are well-positioned to meet this challenge.

Season 1 also included substantial balance adjustments and gameplay refinements, with further updates planned. For more on Marvel Rivals, explore articles detailing the Invisible Woman's use against bots, the Hero Hot List, and the ongoing discussion surrounding the use of mods.
