Marvel Rivals Reveals Access to Over 7,000 Characters, With 12 More Set to Launch Throughout the Year

 

Since China took a serious leap into the gaming industry—transitioning from a major consumer to a global producer—the market has been set ablaze. Known for its massive workforce and distinct labor regulations compared to Japan and other countries, China has proven its ability to deliver high-quality content at a much faster pace. One standout example is Marvel Rivals. Developed by NetEase, the game has shown deep dedication to its community through meticulous skin designs and engaging events. Most notably, they committed to releasing a new hero every month on average—a promise they have consistently kept. For 2026, Marvel Rivals is set to launch 12 more heroes throughout the year. With the game’s massive success, let’s dive deeper into this story

As we know, NetEase has invested in the full licensing rights for every character from Marvel Comics to create Marvel Rivals. This means the developers have free rein to feature any character they desire—including those from the movies. With a roster of over 7,000 heroes and villains at their disposal, Marvel Rivals could theoretically release 12 new heroes a year for the next 875 years without breaking a sweat. In short, Marvel Rivals possesses virtually unlimited 'raw material,' manpower, and creativity. This stands in stark contrast to many international online games, where development can be slow due to labor laws and staffing constraints. China’s industry, however, operates on a different scale—boasting a massive workforce capable of intense productivity, allowing them to churn out new content relentlessly

When The Gamer questioned Marvel Rivals regarding how long they could sustain this monthly hero release pace, the development team confidently replied: 'We have delivered a wealth of content and quality to this community. As a team, we remain flexible and will adjust our development plans based on insights gained from long-term operations, as well as community feedback on what players truly want. We have already increased the frequency of hero launches since our debut. Our team consists of talented designers, programmers, and artists who collaborate closely to ensure we can maintain this update frequency—an area where we have seen significant success

Furthermore, the team teased that with the upcoming releases of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, fans can definitely look forward to special themed events and stunning new skins. Knowing this, we can rest assured that Marvel Rivals is here to stay for the long haul, with a steady stream of new heroes to play throughout the year. Most importantly, mark your calendars for January 16th! Get ready to meet the 'Merc with a Mouth' himself—Deadpool. You can bet he’s bringing his signature chaos and comedy to the roster.
