Marvel Rivals Dev Commits to New Hero Every 6 Weeks

by Aurora Apr 13,2025

NetEase Games has exciting news for Marvel Rivals enthusiasts: a new hero will be introduced every month and a half as part of their ongoing seasonal updates. This announcement came from the studio’s creative director, Guangyun Chen, during an insightful interview with Metro. Chen emphasized their commitment to enriching the game, stating, "Every season we'll be rolling out fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes. We'll actually be breaking down each season into two halves." With each season spanning three months, this means fans can look forward to a new hero every six weeks, keeping the gameplay experience dynamic and engaging.

As Marvel Rivals progresses through its seasons, the burning question on everyone's mind at the end of each cycle will be: who's next? The game kicked off Season 1: Eternal Night Falls with a bang, introducing Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch in the upcoming second half. These iconic characters set a high bar, and maintaining that momentum will be a thrilling challenge for NetEase.

The initial roster of Marvel Rivals already boasts a stellar lineup including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm. However, the universe of Marvel is vast, and fans are eager to see more characters join the fray. Rumors suggest that Blade may make an appearance in Season 2, with hopes also high for characters like Daredevil, Deadpool, and other X-Men members. While the future expansion of the roster remains a mystery, the game's current success signals that NetEase is poised to keep the excitement alive.

In addition to new heroes, Marvel Rivals Season 1 brought a series of balance changes and general gameplay tweaks, promising continuous improvements in future updates.
