This news has generated a mixed response. While many celebrate the game's continued success, the recent layoffs of the U.S.-based support team have sparked concern and debate. Some players advocate for rehiring key developers, while others offer humorous commentary on the irony of layoffs amidst such growth. The layoffs were attributed to "development efficiency optimization," fueling speculation about a shift in development focus towards NetEase's Chinese teams.
However, the future remains positive for Marvel Rivals. Exciting new content is on the horizon, including the highly anticipated addition of fan-favorite characters like Human Torch and Thing, arriving this Friday, February 21st, with Blade to follow. The game's massive player count and upcoming additions suggest a bright outlook for Marvel Rivals.
