Despite recent speculation about a potential decline, Marvel Rivals, the multiplayer shooter, is flourishing. NetEase has proudly announced that the game has now surpassed an impressive milestone of 40 million players.

The announcement has elicited a range of reactions from the Marvel Rivals community. Enthusiasts are thrilled about the game's ongoing success, yet there are concerns about the recent layoffs of the U.S.-based support team. Some players have called for the rehiring of key creators who played a pivotal role in the game's rise to popularity. Others have taken to social media to make light of the situation, jesting about the possibility of further layoffs despite the game's growing success.

The layoffs were attributed to a need for "development efficiency optimization," sparking rumors that NetEase might be shifting focus towards their Chinese teams. Nevertheless, the future of Marvel Rivals appears promising. Fans have much to look forward to, with new content on the horizon. Exciting additions such as fan-favorite characters Human Torch, Thing, and Blade are set to join the fray. The first two heroes will be available in the game starting this Friday, February 21st.
