Marvel Rivals: New Hero Every 6 Weeks

NetEase Games has exciting news for Marvel Rivals players: a new hero is coming every month and a half! Creative director Guangyun Chen revealed this ambitious post-launch plan in an interview with Metro. Each three-month season will be split in half, delivering a fresh hero with each new half-season. This means at least one new playable character every six weeks, alongside new seasonal stories and maps. Chen emphasized the goal is to continuously enhance the player experience and maintain community excitement.

This rapid-fire hero release schedule poses an intriguing question: who's next? Season 1: Eternal Night Falls launched with Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch in the second. While these iconic characters provide a strong foundation, maintaining this level of excitement and delivering consistently popular heroes will be a significant challenge.

Marvel Rivals already boasts a robust roster including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm. However, the Marvel universe is vast, leaving countless possibilities. Rumors suggest Blade for Season 2, and fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of Daredevil, Deadpool, and other X-Men. NetEase's plans for expanding the roster remain unclear, but the game's current success indicates a commitment to continued growth.

Season 1 also included significant balance changes and gameplay adjustments, with more updates promised. For further news on Marvel Rivals, explore how players are using the Invisible Woman to combat bots, check out the Hero Hot List, and learn about the ongoing debate surrounding the use of mods.
