Marvel Rivals game director Guangyun Chen has exciting news for fans of the beloved hero shooter. The team is thrilled to have the opportunity to add iconic characters from an 85-year legacy of Marvel comics to the game. With such a vast array of names at their disposal, they are turning to player votes to guide the game’s direction.
The expansive Marvel universe presents a plethora of heroes both famous and obscure. This abundance of choice can be a double-edged sword. Introducing well-known faces like Jean Grey and Blade must be balanced with lesser-known, yet equally fascinating characters like the delightful Jeff the Land Shark.
In a candid interview with VideoGamer, Chen conveys how the team at NetEase draws inspiration from the vibrant player community, emphasizing, “We continuously pay attention to the community and have noticed that players frequently take the initiative to vote on new heroes they would like to see in the future.” He further states, “We consider these votes to be highly valuable and will use them as an important factor in our planning for upcoming seasons.”
With Marvel Rivals now rolling out new characters every month rather than every six weeks, fans might see their favorite heroes sooner than expected. From established legends like Thanos to quirky newcomers like Soft Serve, the mutant who humorously creates ice cream, the excitement continues to build.
For more on Marvel Rivals’ upcoming characters and thrilling leaks for Season 3 and beyond, the community remains eager for updates. Stay tuned for weekly digests, community tales, and much more!
