Hawkeye, Hela Nerfs Incoming: Marvel Rivals Update

Get ready, Marvel Rivals fans! Season 1 of the team-based shooter is almost here, and the developers are pulling out all the stops. They're not only tackling that pesky frame rate issue affecting low-end PCs, but they've also got a whole host of exciting announcements lined up.

A leaked announcement schedule hints at a jam-packed reveal tomorrow. Expect the first Season 1 trailer, plus the unveiling of three new heroes: Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and a mystery character yet to be named. That’s not all – a brand new map is also on the horizon, along with the launch of an official developer blog detailing upcoming balance changes.

This blog will likely address the community’s concerns about overpowered characters. The leak suggests nerfs are coming for Hela and Hawkeye, who currently dominate long-range engagements due to their superior health point exchange capabilities.

On the flip side, several underperforming heroes are slated for buffs. Venom, Captain America, Wolverine, Storm, and Cloak and Dagger can all expect some much-needed improvements. We’ll see the specifics soon enough, as Season 1 is set to launch later this week.
