NetEase Games has confirmed a robust post-launch content plan for Marvel Rivals, promising a new hero every six weeks. Creative Director Guangyun Chen revealed in an interview with Metro that each three-month season will be split into two halves, each introducing a new playable character. This translates to at least one new hero every month and a half, alongside new seasonal stories and maps. Chen emphasized the goal of continuously enhancing the player experience and maintaining community excitement.

The first season, "Eternal Night Falls," already showcased this commitment, launching with Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in the first half, followed by The Thing and the Human Torch in the second. While this initial lineup featured iconic Marvel heroes, maintaining this pace and selecting future characters will be a significant undertaking.

Marvel Rivals boasts a strong initial roster including Wolverine, Magneto, Spider-Man, Jeff the Landshark, and Storm. However, numerous other Marvel characters are highly anticipated by fans. Rumors suggest Blade's appearance in Season 2, with Daredevil and Deadpool among the many other possibilities. NetEase's future roster expansion remains unclear, but the game's current success indicates a strong commitment to ongoing development.

Season 1 also included substantial balance adjustments and gameplay refinements, with further updates planned. For more on Marvel Rivals, explore articles detailing player strategies using the Invisible Woman against bots, the Hero Hot List, and the use of mods despite potential bans.
