NetEase Games keeps Marvel Rivals fresh with regular updates, aiming for a new release approximately every six weeks, introducing two fresh heroes each quarter. This ensures players always find something new to explore.
Game director Guangyun Chen revealed a two-part seasonal update structure: one hero debuts in the first half, followed by another in the second. This approach maintains player and audience engagement. Beyond new heroes, updates will include maps, storylines, and objectives. Previously announced characters include the upcoming Blade and leaked Altron, with the Fantastic Four team also recently confirmed.
GameLook reported the game achieved global revenue of approximately $100 million, with a significant portion from China. This marks a significant gaming foray for Marvel, a cinematic powerhouse.
Marvel Rivals successfully filled a void in the hero-shooter genre, contrasting negatively with Square Enix's Avengers. NetEase delivered a high-quality heroic shooter featuring compelling characters, earning positive reviews upon release.
