Marvel Rivals is about to start out getting new heroes each month because the size of its seasons will get shorter, inventive director Guangyun Chen stated in an replace video on Thursday.

Beginning with season 3, Marvel Rivals seasons will final two months as a substitute of three, which implies we’ll get a brand new hero initially of the season and midway via.

“After intensive inside discussions and thorough evaluations, we’ve determined that ranging from season 3, the seasons will shift to a two-month format, with a brand new hero debuting every month,” Chen stated.
