NetEase Games holds permission from Marvel and Disney to develop original characters for Marvel Rivals. Game director Guangguang confirmed this capability during discussions with MP1st regarding potential roster expansions. The studio currently transforms established Marvel heroes through unique artistic interpretations and gameplay mechanics. Guangguang declined to reveal specific plans when questioned about future character creation initiatives.
Marvel Rivals has achieved significant popularity throughout 2025 by featuring recognizable comic book personalities. The development team applies distinctive visual designs and combat systems to familiar characters from the Marvel universe. Whether NetEase will exercise its creative freedom remains uncertain, given the game's success with existing intellectual property. The director suggested players monitor upcoming announcements for potential developments. This approval grants the studio flexibility to expand beyond traditional Marvel character limitations when designing future content updates.
