Marvel Rivals Season 2 Brings More Team-Up Skills and Skins

Get ready for electrifying changes in Marvel Rivals Season 2! NetEase is revamping team-up skills and introducing stunning new skins for Spider-Man and Iron Man. Let's dive into the exciting updates.

Upcoming Updates for Marvel Rivals

New Team-Up Skills and Adjustments

Marvel Rivals Game Director Guangyun Chen revealed significant changes to team-up skills in an interview with PC Gamer on March 14th. He stated, "Starting from Season 2, we will introduce new Team-Up skills with the seasonal update and adjust some existing ones. This, combined with overall balance adjustments, will create a fresh combat experience."

Currently, the game boasts 17 team-up skills, including Ragnarok Rebirth, Lunar Force, and Allied Agents. Balancing these skills with the growing roster will be a significant challenge for NetEase.

Hero Balancing

Chen detailed the team's approach to hero balancing: "We closely monitor key metrics across Quick Match and Competitive Modes, analyzing win rates, pick rates, damage, healing, and more. This data, along with analysis of hero lineup compositions and community feedback, guides our balancing decisions."

With a new hero planned for each half of the three-month season (eight heroes annually), maintaining balance will be an ongoing process. Chen confirmed that Season 2 content is ready, with Seasons 3 and 4 already in development, reaffirming NetEase's commitment to the game's long-term support (10+ years).
