The developers of Marvel Rivals have confirmed they have no plans to add original characters in the near future. This decision stems from the vast number of existing Marvel characters available, making it challenging to introduce new ones without overwhelming players or diluting the roster's identity. The team emphasizes that their focus remains on expanding the game with established heroes rather than creating new ones.
As the game continues to grow, NetEase Games is prioritizing balance and variety among current characters. They believe the rich library of Marvel personalities already offers sufficient depth and diversity for gameplay. With ongoing updates and additions, the development team sees no immediate need to expand into original content, choosing instead to explore the full potential of the existing universe.
