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 21st, 2025, coinciding with the release of The Thing and Human Torch. However, due to significant negative player feedback, NetEase reversed course.
The Marvel Rivals team announced via a blog post that the mid-season update will not include a rank reset. Players will retain their existing ranks and scores. 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 showcases NetEase's responsiveness to player concerns and provides high-ranking players with an extended period to compete at the top levels.
Season 1 Mid-Season Update Details:
Beyond the absence of a rank reset, the mid-season update introduces The Thing and Human Torch as playable characters. Specific character balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs) haven't been detailed yet.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
