Marvel Rivals recently kicked off season 1, introducing Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman as new playable heroes along with a new convoy map that takes you through the streets of a Dracula-controlled New York. It's been a strong start for the game that first launched in early December.

Marvel Rivals has laid out just how many heroes the game will be getting and at what pace they will arrive going forward.

The next Marvel Rivals update is the mid-season update for season one, which introduces Human Torch and The Thing as playable characters. The update will also provide balance tweaks, new maps, and additional content, though full details have yet to be confirmed.

The hero shooter is launching with tons of options for new players. Here are my recommendations for the three roles and every single one of the 33 heroes.

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

Marvel Rivals really hit the ground running when it launched last month. From day one, it had 33 characters you could play, which is a huge number when you consider that Overwatch 2 has 42 eight years after launch.
