NetEase Games has confirmed a robust post-launch plan for Marvel Rivals, promising a new hero every six weeks. Creative director Guangyun Chen revealed this in an interview with Metro, stating that each three-month season will be split into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. This commitment to regular content updates also includes new seasonal stories and maps.
"Every season will bring fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes. We're dividing each season into two halves," Chen explained. "A season lasts three months, and each half will introduce a new hero. Our goal is to continuously enhance the experience and keep the community engaged."

This ambitious release schedule leaves players eagerly anticipating future additions. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls successfully launched with Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch in the second. Maintaining this level of high-profile character introductions will be a significant undertaking.
While the initial roster boasts popular characters like Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm, the Marvel universe offers countless possibilities. Speculation points towards Blade's arrival in Season 2, with fans also hoping for characters like Daredevil and more X-Men. NetEase's continued success with Marvel Rivals suggests they are committed to expanding the roster.
Season 1 also included substantial balance changes and gameplay adjustments, with more planned for future updates. For further news on Marvel Rivals, explore articles on using the Invisible Woman against bots, the Hero Hot List, and the use of mods despite potential bans.
