Marvel Rivals Season 1 Mid-Season Update: No Rank Reset!
A recent announcement from NetEase Games has clarified the situation regarding a potential rank reset in Marvel Rivals Season 1. Initially, a mid-season reset was planned for February 21, 2025, coinciding with the release of The Thing and Human Torch. However, due to significant player feedback expressing concerns about the frequency of resets, NetEase has reversed this decision.

The Marvel Rivals team stated in a blog post that there will be no rank reset at the start of the second half of Season 1. Players will retain their current rank and score. To earn new rewards, including a Gold rank costume and Crests of Honor, players simply need to complete 10 competitive matches and meet specific conditions by the end of the season.
This decision highlights NetEase's responsiveness to player feedback and demonstrates a commitment to improving the competitive experience. The absence of a mid-season reset offers players more time to climb the ranks and compete for top rewards.
Season 1 Mid-Season Update Details:
Beyond the rank reset news, the mid-season update will introduce The Thing and Human Torch as playable heroes. While specific character balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs) haven't been detailed yet, they are expected to impact the game's meta.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
