As a lifelong Marvel fan with a soft spot for hero shooters, I can hardly contain my excitement for December! With Marvel Rivals set to launch just around the corner, it feels like Christmas has come early for me and fellow fans. After eagerly participating in both closed playtests and the brief Chinese test, the anticipation has been building like the Hulk’s anger before a smash-tastic battle.
This upcoming month, December, promises to be significant for the new super-powered shooter game from NetEase Games called Marvel Rivals. Not only will it collaborate with popular games like Marvel Snap and Fortnite, but its initial season is slated to start on December 6th. After two successful closed trials and a brief Chinese test in October, the excitement for this title is nearly tangible.
On November 15th, NetEase Games shared with the Marvel Rivals community their plans for post-launch content, gearing up for the coming year. This encompasses, though not exclusively, details about season lengths, the battle pass mechanism, and which heroes will be available at the game’s launch. Significantly, among these is Moon Knight, who was recently announced as the latest playable character in Marvel Rivals.

What To Expect From Marvel Rivals’ Upcoming Seasons
In addition to the promise of numerous improvements such as updates, bug fixes, and enhancements, Creative Director Guangguang has assured us that the game will run with a consistent server tick rate of 60. This means it will operate in multiple new regions. Players can choose their preferred server for smoother gameplay due to lower latency and quicker matchmaking. Moreover, he announced that initially, Marvel Rivals will offer a roster of 33 characters, both heroes and villains.
As a gamer, I can’t wait for our game to drop in December, kicking off Season 0, or “Doom’s Rise.” Named after the main villain of our hero shooter, Dr. Doom, this season promises an intriguing narrative with his character at the forefront, especially since he’s deeply involved in the “Time Experiments.” With Marvel Rivals’ map stories designed to unfold and possibly delve deeper into Doctor Doom’s intentions over time, Season 0 signals the start of an exciting journey for our game.
In a compact format, Season 0 is planned as a mini-duration season lasting for about a month. This arrangement aims to gradually familiarize players with the game and gives developers an opportunity to address significant issues before fully immersing in development. During this initial phase, NetEase Games plans to introduce:
- 33 heroes
- 8 maps for Quick Match and Competitive modes
- A Conquest map
- A new Practice Range
- A shortened battle pass
In Marvel Rivals, the mode called “Conquest” is similar to a type of game called “Team Deathmatch,” but with some differences. So far, it’s the only mode that doesn’t stick to the traditional 6-versus-6 format.
Following this, Season 1 – our first complete season – is set to premiere early in January. Subsequent seasons will follow a similar pattern, running approximately three months at a time and introducing new characters, Team-Up Abilities, maps, and sometimes unique game modes. Given the extensive array of locations within Marvel Comics, potential map choices for Marvel Rivals appear limitless. As yet, it’s undecided whether multiple characters, similar to those in Season 0, will be launched all at once, or if only a single hero will be presented per season.
Marvel Rivals’ Monetization and Battle Pass System Explained
In contrast to Marvel Rivals implementing a live-service approach that includes a battle pass system, the development team assures players that there won’t be any “pay-to-win” strategies. Since Season 0 is quite brief, its corresponding battle pass will be priced appropriately, though the exact cost remains undisclosed. Advancing through various tiers will reward players with skins, avatars, sprays, currency, and other items.
As we get closer to the release of Marvel Rivals, I can hardly contain my excitement! I’m really hoping that NetEase Games starts sharing more details about what’s in store for us post-launch. I’d love to know more about new heroes joining the game, competitive play modes, whether they’ll optimize cross-progression for Marvel Rivals, and what goodies we can expect in the in-game shop. Fingers crossed that they keep their communication clear and consistent as the big day approaches!
