If you also despise getting caught in Jeff the Land Shark's ult in Marvel Rivals, the game's director has some tips on how to avoid it.

Marvel Rivals has just launched season 1, the game barreling forward with a colossal amount of momentum over the past month as it has broken past the “you can’t make a successful hero shooter” narrative and has created a phenomenon.

Marvel Rivals landed with a wide roster, boasting 33 heroes when it launched on December 5. Just over a month later, the hero shooter's received two additions to its lineup, thanks to the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman with the advent of Season 1.

NetEase Games will release a new playable hero every six weeks in Marvel Rivals. Also, a new season will be split into two parts every three months, with a new hero being released every half of a season.

NetEase Games is telling Marvel Rivals players that a new hero will launch every month and a half as additional seasons roll out. The studio’s creative director, Guangyun Chen, clarified the team’s post-launch plans during an interview with Metro.

Game director Guangyun Chen says "we just eventually want to continue to enhance the experience, and, you know, keep everyone excited in our community"
