Marvel Rivals Season 1 Mid-Season Update: No Rank Reset!
Confusion surrounded a potential rank reset in the upcoming Marvel Rivals update, prompting clarification from NetEase Games. Initially, a mid-season rank 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 and the resulting pressure, NetEase reversed course.
The Marvel Rivals team announced that there will be no rank reset at the start of the second half of Season 1. Players will retain their existing ranks and scores. To earn new rewards, including a Gold rank costume and Crests of Honor, players only need to complete 10 competitive matches and fulfill the required conditions by the season's end. This decision showcases NetEase's responsiveness to player feedback.
What's New in the Mid-Season Update?
Beyond the absence of a rank reset, the Season 1 mid-season update introduces The Thing and Human Torch as playable characters. Specific character balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs) haven't been detailed yet, but are anticipated to generate discussion within the community.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
