Marvel Rivals recently launched with 33 heroes and has already introduced new characters. The game director, Guangyun Chen, stated that players can expect a new hero approximately every month and a half. This rapid addition to the roster is part of their strategy for seasonal content.

Key Highlights:

• The game includes frequent seasonal updates with new heroes, maps, and stories.
• Each season is divided into two halves, with a new hero revealed for each half.
• If the pace is maintained, there could be over 40 playable heroes by this time next year, which is notably faster than other games like Overwatch 2.

In the interview, Chen emphasized that character creation will depend on gameplay themes and experiences intended for each season. Marvel’s extensive character library should assist in meeting this ambitious roadmap, although concerns were raised about the sustainability of such a pace regarding player engagement and monetization as the game grows.

“Every season, we’ll be rolling out fresh seasonal stories, new maps, and new heroes,” Chen affirmed. Translation: “Cada temporada, lanzaremos nuevas historias estacionales, nuevos mapas y nuevos héroes.”

Dragon players anticipate that the game’s growing universe will not only add diversity but also bring challenges in maintaining player interest without overwhelming the thematic framework.
