Summary

  • Marvel Rivals has promised a new character every month and a half.
  • With at least 7,000 heroes and villains in the comics, it's going to take a while before Rivals runs out of ideas.
  • That's around 875 years of roster additions if it does stick to its month and a half promise.

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Rivals director made the somewhat surprising confirmation this week that the team behind it will aim to add a new hero to its ꦡroster every month and a half. That's a heck of a tall order and we'll see how long the devs can keep up with that pace. One thing they won't need to worry about is running out of content to pull from, at least not for another 800 year⛄s or so.

Marvel has been creating characters for its comics for 86 years so naturally, there are a lot of them. You might not realize quite how many heroes and villains its writers and artists have come up with during that time though, partly because nobody seems to know. A rough estimate is 7,000, and if that number is even close to being correct, that gives the Rivals devs 875 years' worth of roster additions.

shared that it will take 875 years to run out of heroes and vil🌺lains if NetEase sticks to its guns and adds a new character every month and a half. A claim so outlandish that I assumed it was a joke at first. Turns out it's not as most comic book fans guesstimate that there are between 7,000 and 8,000 superpowered beings spread across Marvel's sprawling multiverse.

And You Thought A 33-Character Roster Was Big

That may well be a conservative estimate too. There are more than 56,000 entries on the Marvel Wiki. However, that includes regular characters as well. Maybe if Rivals does run for 875 years and there are no more superpowered characters left to consider, we can start adding regular characters to the game. Until then, I'm not particularly interesಌted in finding out how effective Aunt May would be while being slapped about by Venom's tendrils.

While concerns have been expressed about the rate at which NetEase intends to introduce new characters to the Rivals roster, most aren't rooted in the team running out of ideas. It's more the work it will take to keep new heroes and villains coming every month and a half. That's a tall order, and even if there's a backlog of new characters ready to go, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:which seems likely baseꦜd on variou♉s leaks, there will come a time when the 𝐆promised schedule eventually catches up with them.

There are only two characters we know for certain that are coming to Rivals in the veryও near future - The Thing and Human Torch. Their additions will come midway through season one, joining Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman to complete the game's Fantastic Four.
