Marvel Rivals developer NetEase has been given the inexperienced mild to create its personal authentic characters on prime of pulling from Disney‘s endless roster of present superheroes and villains.
In an interview with MP1st, Marvel Rivals artistic director Guangyun Chen (higher identified by his nickname, Guangguang) confirmed in no unsure phrases that, “Sure, we’re allowed to introduce authentic characters in Marvel Rivals.”
Nicely, that is new. From launch, it has been an open query whether or not Disney is OK with NetEase straight-up making new characters out of complete material for an official Marvel recreation, and now we all know. And, weirdly, it seems like one thing of a risk.
“Keep tuned,” mentioned Guangguang when requested if something’s at the moment in improvement.
In equity, this is not an enormous shock contemplating Luna Snow is the creation of Marvel Future Battle developer Netmarble, though she’s since appeared in numerous official Marvel comics.
I am additionally not casting any doubt on NetEase’s capability to attract up authentic characters, and in any case, it was Marvel itself that unleashed absolutely the menace that’s Jeff the Shark on the world.
Regardless, it positively appears like NetEase has one thing up its sleeve, and that one thing sounds an entire lot like a model new Rivals character outdoors of present Marvel lore, however trying on the record of upcoming Marvel Rivals characters, which incorporates the entire leaks we find out about, it appears it might be fairly some time earlier than the doubtless new hero or villain’s introduction.
