Is that something that you\u2019re even allowed to do down the road just having a completely original character for the game that may be introduced to the full Marvel universe later?<\/p>\n<p>Guangguang answered, \u201cYes, we are allowed to introduce original characters in Marvel Rivals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When we followed that up and asked where there is anything in development about that at this time, the game director didn\u2019t confirm or deny it, but only said to \u201cstay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While I honestly don\u2019t see NetEase releasing an original character anytime soon, stranger things have happened. It\u2019s just that they have such a rich catalog of characters to choose from that it\u2019s surely hard to decide which character to release first, much less start one from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>In the same interview, <a href=\"https:\/\/mp1st.com\/news\/netease-implementing-countermeasures-to-marvel-rivals-leaks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NetEase also confirmed to us that they are taking steps to prevent leaks from happening<\/a>, although we\u2019re left in the dark as to what those exact steps are.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to see original characters created by NetEase featured in Marvel Rivals? Or should NetEase keep its roster exclusive with Marvel characters?
