NetEase Games keeps Marvel Rivals engaging with frequent updates. Aiming for updates every six weeks, and two new heroes each quarter, the game promises consistent fresh content.
Game director Guangyun Chen explained a two-part seasonal update structure: one new hero in the first half, another in the second. This strategy maintains player interest. Beyond heroes, updates include new maps, storylines, and objectives. Upcoming characters include the previously announced Blade and Altron (revealed through leaks), with the Fantastic Four's full team also confirmed.
GameLook reported worldwide revenue of approximately $100 million, with a significant portion from China. This marks a substantial move for Marvel into gaming, building on its film success.
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, receiving positive initial reviews.
