What to expect from the next seasons of Marvel Rivals
Along with assurances that the game is in the process of receiving various quality-of-life updates, bug fixes, and overhauls, creative director Guangguang confirmed that the game will support server speeds of 60 while operating in several new regions. Players will be able to select the desired server for lower ping and faster connection search. In addition, he stated that Rivals of Marvel will include a starting cast of 33 heroes and villains.
The game's December release will coincide with the start of Season 0, officially dubbed “Doom's Rise.” This season is aptly named after the shooter's main antagonist, Dr. Doom, who plays an important role in the narrative, particularly through his involvement in the Time Experiments. with Rivals of Marvel“Stories tied to cards that constantly evolve over time and potentially expand Dr. Doom's motives, Season 0 marks the beginning of a promising future for the game.
Season 0, intended as a mini-season, will last a month. This should not only help players ease into the game, but also allow the developers to address any major pain points before going all in. Despite this, during this period NetEase Games will present the following:
- 33 heroes
- 8 maps for Quick Match and Competitive modes
- Map of conquest
- New training ground
- Shortened combat pass
Conquest in Marvel Rivals is a variation of Team Deathmatch. It's currently the only mode that doesn't stick to 6v6.
After that, Season 1, the first full season, will debut in early January. After that, seasons will be modeled similarly, lasting about three months each and introducing new heroes, team abilities, maps, and the occasional fresh game mode. Given that Marvel Comics is home to a large number of locations, future map options for Rivals of Marvel seem endless. It hasn't been confirmed if multiple characters like Season 0 will be released at the same time, or if only one character will be featured in each season.

Despite Rivals of Marvel adopting a live service model with a battle pass track, the development team noted that there will be no pay-to-win schemes. Also, due to the brevity of Season 0, the corresponding Battle Pass will be sold accordingly, although no price tag has been given. Reaching different levels will give you skins, avatars, sprays, currency and more.
As the game nears the end of its development cycle, more to come Rivals of Marvel' schedule should be available after launch.
