Confirmed: Marvel Rivals will be getting 2 heroes every 3 months

NetEase Games is committed to keeping Marvel Rivals fresh with regular updates. The plan is to release updates approximately every six weeks, introducing two new heroes each quarter. This ensures players always have exciting new content to explore.

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

This approach maintains player engagement. Beyond new heroes, Marvel Rivals will also feature updates including new maps, storylines, and objectives. Previously announced characters include Blade (currently unavailable) and leaked information suggests the inclusion of Ultron. The addition of the entire Fantastic Four team has also been confirmed.

According to GameLook, a Chinese publication, the game has generated approximately $100 million globally, with a significant portion stemming from the Chinese market. This marks a significant move for Marvel, a powerhouse in the film industry, into the competitive gaming arena.

Marvel Rivals successfully filled a void in the hero-shooter genre, following the less-than-stellar reception of Square Enix's Avengers. NetEase delivered a high-quality heroic shooter boasting a compelling roster of characters, receiving positive reviews upon its release.
