Marvel Rivals devs have added fake heroes to the game files to mislead leakers

Here's a clever way to mislead dataminers and other leakers! NetEase has apparently added the names of plenty of heroes to the Marvel Rivals files... And some won't make it to the game.

This comes from Keone on the Discord server Marvel Rivals Leak. According to him, the studio has introduced fake heroes into the files in order to fool leakers. The Chinese company could also be looking to discover which employees would leak info anonymously.

A member of X0XLEAK has confirmed this via X.com. So, we can't be sure that any future names leaked will end up being real.
