Marvel Rivalsreally hit the ground running when it launched last month.
Thats a new character every six weeks, on top of new seasonal stories and maps.
Thats eight new characters a year, plus the two extras from the first season.
Thats so many that Im wondering how on earth this could possibly be tenable in the long term.
How Can This Be Possible?
To be fair, Marvel has an endless supply of characters to mine for ideas.
Its more an act of translation than outright creation.
Those developers might need to start a union.
Susan Storm might be the best support hero yet.
There are only so many really recognisable faces to the casual Marvel enjoyer.
Who is Squirrel Girl?
Where did Jeff the Landshark come from?
Id never even heard of Cloak and Dagger, who I now almost exclusively main.
It seems that Rivals strategy is to give players a mix of known and lesser-known characters.
Blade is also rumoured to be appearing in the games second season.
