Developers of Marvel Rivals have the liberty to create unique characters, NetEase releases cryptic teaser: "Remain vigilant"
In a recent development, the creative director of Marvel Rivals, Guangyun Chen (also known as Guangguang), has confirmed that the game's developer, NetEase, has been granted permission to introduce original characters into the popular mobile game [1][2].
While specific details about these new characters are yet to be revealed, Chen's statement, "Yes, we are allowed to introduce original characters in Marvel Rivals," has sparked excitement among fans [3]. The devs have remained tight-lipped about the new character's introduction timeline, adding to the anticipation [4].
This isn't the first time a game developer has been given the opportunity to create original characters for the Marvel universe. Previously, characters like Luna Snow, who originated from Marvel Future Fight, have been integrated into official Marvel comics, setting a precedent for this practice [3].
However, it's worth noting that the focus of Marvel Rivals has primarily been on well-known characters from the Marvel universe. The devs have clarified that the controversial "horny skins" are based on "classic comic designs" [1].
As of now, there's no concrete information on the specific original characters or their release dates. Fans are advised to stay tuned for future announcements from NetEase regarding these developments [4].
This confirmation from NetEase also sheds light on Disney's stance on original characters in official Marvel games [2]. The devs did not discuss the precedent set by Luna Snow's appearance in official Marvel comics, nor did they provide any information about additional original characters beyond the potential new one [1][3].
The devs of Marvel Rivals have expressed their gratitude for the players' appreciation and are looking forward to continuing to deliver a high-quality gaming experience [5]. The list of upcoming Marvel Rivals characters includes all known leaks about future characters, but as of now, no original characters have been confirmed for the game [6].
