Marvel Rivals Will Add New Heroes Every 6 Weeks

NetEase Games studio plans to add a new hero in Marvel Rivals every half-season, or approximately every six weeks. This was shared by the game’s director, Guangyun Chen, in a recent interview.

"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. The length of one season is three months. And for each half of the season, we will introduce a new hero. We just eventually want to continue to enhance the experience, and, you know, keep everyone excited in our community," said the game’s director.

The developer didn't share any hints on specific heroes or classes, but the characters will depend on the season's theme and the team's overall sense of the game's current state. The manager also added that they have ambitious plans for the future, and they strive to balance quick matches with competitive modes, understanding that both styles have dedicated fans.

"We really hope that when we do the competitive modes or tournaments, they will co-exist with our quick play. That’s because we’ve been seeing a lot of other successful titles being able to pull off a competitive environment and a quick play environment both healthily at the same time. We’ll be taking a lot of references from them to ultimately let both player pools thrive, noted Guangyun Chen.
