NetEase Games keeps Marvel Rivals fresh with regular updates, aiming for a new release every six weeks, introducing two fresh heroes each quarter. This ensures consistent new content to engage players.
Game director Guangyun Chen revealed a two-part seasonal update structure: one hero launches in the first half, followed by another in the second. This keeps both players and audiences invested. Beyond heroes, updates will include new maps, storylines, and objectives. Upcoming characters include the previously announced Blade (currently unavailable) and Altron (revealed via leaks), along with the recently confirmed Fantastic Four.
GameLook reported worldwide revenue of approximately $100 million, with a significant portion from China. This marks a major step for Marvel, expanding its dominance from film into the gaming sector.
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 and received positive initial reviews.
