NetEase Games is committed to keeping Marvel Rivals fresh and exciting for players with regular updates. Expect a new update roughly every six weeks, introducing two new heroes each quarter. This ensures there's always something new to discover upon returning to the game.
Game director Guangyun Chen revealed a two-part seasonal update structure: one new hero in the first half of the season, and another in the second. This consistent rollout, coupled with new maps, storylines, and objectives, keeps both players and audiences engaged. Upcoming additions include previously teased characters like Blade and Altron (revealed through leaks), and the highly anticipated arrival of the full Fantastic Four team.
According to Chinese publication GameLook, Marvel Rivals has generated approximately $100 million globally, with a significant portion originating from the Chinese market. This marks a major step for Marvel, extending its dominance from the film industry into the competitive world of gaming.
Marvel Rivals successfully filled a void in the hero-shooter genre left by the less-than-stellar reception of Square Enix's Avengers. NetEase delivered a high-quality, critically acclaimed title at launch, boasting a compelling roster of characters.
