Marvel Rivals Introduces Bimonthly Hero Expansions

NetEase Games keeps Marvel Rivals fresh with regular updates, aiming for a new release every six weeks, introducing two new heroes each quarter. This ensures consistent new content to draw players back.

Game director Guangyun Chen explained that each season's update is divided. One hero is added in the first half, and another in the second. This approach maintains player and audience engagement. Beyond heroes, updates will include new maps, storylines, and objectives.

Previously announced characters include the upcoming Blade and Altron (revealed through leaks), with the Fantastic Four's full team also recently confirmed.

GameLook reported the game's global revenue reached approximately $100 million, with a significant portion from the Chinese market. This marks a substantial move for Marvel, a film industry giant, into the 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 title featuring compelling characters, earning positive reviews at launch.
