Marvel Rivals exec isn't afraid of roster bloat after NetEase promised new heroes every 6 weeks: “There's no limit for the sky. We just throw everything at it”

Heroes and villains face off in Marvel Rivals key art.

There are currently 37 playable heroes in Marvel Rivals, a sort of mind-boggling number when you remember that the mega-shooter only came out around four months ago and its already welcomed four new fantastic characters in that time. For reference - and I'm not saying quantity equals quality - the Overwatch 2 roster that first started growing in 2016 has 42 heroes. But Marvel Rivals' executive producer isn't worried about the game becoming bloated as they continue to pump out playable characters.

Developer NetEase has already promised that new heroes would be coming to Marvel Rivals every six weeks, so if the shooter is going to live as long as other mammoth hits, what's the ceiling? 60 heroes? 100 heroes? 1050? We asked Marvel Games executive producer Danny Koo about what the limit is, and in a Mean Girls twist, it turns out that the limit doesn't really exist.
