NetEase has announced exciting plans for Marvel Rivals, including adding a new hero every month and a half to keep fans coming back for more. With games like Overwatch regularly releasing new characters, this move could work really well for Marvel Rivals. Fans are eager to see which heroes will be added next and are excited about the new abilities that will come with them.
In an exclusive interview with Metro Co UK, NetEase shared details about how they plan to make Marvel Rivals a successful live-service game. They revealed that many new heroes will be joining the roster. Fans also took to Reddit to discuss the news, and most of the reactions have been very positive.
In the interview, the developers talked about some hot topics for Marvel Rivals, including whether a role queue might be added. Fans have asked for a role queue, but the developers are sticking with their decision to keep it out of the game.
After launch, players have been trying out all sorts of team setups, and we think not having a role queue will make the game more fun for everyone.
NetEase explained,
They were also surprised by how many Jeff the Land Shark memes and videos have popped up on social media, as well as how Spider-Man can block Iron Man’s ultimate move with his webs. The developers also talked about game balance.

They want players to enjoy the game in their own way, so instead of just looking at stats from ranked matches or quick play, they’ll focus on the bigger picture to see if any heroes are too strong or too weak to help their team win.
Fans are really excited about the idea of adding more heroes to Marvel Rivals, and a recent Reddit post by AsPeHeat got a lot of attention. Some users pointed out that Overwatch is short on characters because each one needs to be totally unique. Fans like Snoo-2013 are hoping for more Vanguard and Strategist heroes to be added, while user thereal237 said,
Honestly, that sounds great. I just hope they start focusing on Vanguards and Strategists because we really need them.
Even though Marvel Rivals has only been out for a short time, it’s already breaking records and gaining a lot of buzz. It’ll be exciting to see where the game goes from here and how successful it becomes in the future.
