Marvel Rivals devs say future seasons will not be as big as Season 1

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals is set to begin on January 10 and introduce four new heroes from Fantastic 4. Along with that, new maps and game modes, various balance changes, and a new seasonal story. The upcoming season has double the amount of content compared to a regular season of Marvel Rivals as per the developers.

Ahead of the launch, the latest Dev Vision for the game players is a quick overview of what’s to come in Season 1. Speaking to the players, Creative Director, GuangGuang, revealed that they wanted the first season to provide the best experience for players that’s why they decided to add the entire roster for Fantastic 4.

Other content for Marvel Rivals Season 1 is also double the usual season. Implying that the future seasons will not contain four hero releases together. This, however, was expected and honestly isn’t that big of a deal. Two heroes each season will likely work while also letting the developers focus on the quality of the content.
