Marvel Rivals Reverses Course on Player Rank Reset

Dev Talk 11: Updates on Seasonal Rank Adjustments

In a swift response to fan backlash, Marvel Rivals has announced a significant change to their seasonal rank adjustments. Following the outcry after Dev Talk 10, which proposed a mid-season rank reset that would drop players four divisions every 45 days, the developers have listened to the community's concerns.

With the release of Dev Talk 11, Marvel Rivals has officially backtracked on the mid-season rank reset. Players will now retain their scores and ranks from the first half of the season. However, the end-of-season reset will still occur, with players dropping six divisions.

Exciting Updates: Human Torch, The Thing, and More

Despite the reversal on rank resets, Marvel Rivals continues to roll out exciting updates. The much-anticipated addition of Human Torch and The Thing will expand the hero roster to 39 characters. As previously announced by NetEase Games, the game will introduce two new playable characters each season, which lasts three months.

Rewards for players reaching Gold rank and above remain intact. Those who achieve Gold rank or higher will receive a free Invisible Woman costume, while players ranked Grandmaster and above will be awarded Crests of Honor. At the end of the season, new rewards will be available, including another free costume for Gold rank players and additional Crests of Honor for those at Grandmaster level and above.

While balance adjustments are expected post mid-season update, specific details have yet to be disclosed.

Marvel Rivals' Commitment to Community Feedback

The rapid response to the community's feedback on the rank reset proposal showcases Marvel Rivals' dedication to its player base. Within hours of the initial announcement in Dev Talk 10, the developers addressed the concerns and released Dev Talk 11.

Marvel Rivals emphasized their commitment to the community, stating, "We strive to make Marvel Rivals the best game it can be, and the community is the driving force behind this mission! [...] Your engagement and support mean the world to us, and we're excited to continue this journey together!"

The next Marvel Rivals mid-season update is scheduled for February 21, 2025. The game is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with the latest news and developments by visiting our Marvel Rivals page.
