Marvel Rivals Welcomes New Heroes Quarterly

by Jason Feb 22,2025

NetEase Games is committed to keeping Marvel Rivals fresh with regular updates. The plan is to release updates approximately every six weeks, introducing two new heroes each quarter. This ensures a constant stream of new content to engage players.

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

Previously announced characters include Blade (currently unavailable) and Ultron (revealed through leaks). The addition of the full Fantastic Four team has also been confirmed.

According to GameLook, a Chinese publication, Marvel Rivals generated approximately $100 million globally, with a significant portion from the Chinese market. This marks a significant expansion for Marvel into the gaming sector, building on their film industry dominance.

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 game featuring a compelling roster of characters, earning positive reviews upon release.
