Marvel Rivals Season 1 Mid-Season Update: No Rank Reset!

A recent announcement from NetEase Games has clarified the situation regarding a potential rank reset in Marvel Rivals Season 1. Initially, a mid-season reset was planned for February 21st, 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 added pressure it created, NetEase has reversed this decision.

The Marvel Rivals team stated in a blog post that there will be no rank reset at the start of the second half of Season 1. Players will retain their current rank and score. To earn new rewards, including a Gold rank costume and various Crests of Honor, players only need to complete 10 competitive matches and meet specific conditions by the season's end.

This decision showcases NetEase's responsiveness to player feedback, a positive sign for the game's future. It provides players, especially those in higher ranks, with extended time to compete and enjoy the current meta.

Season 1 Mid-Season Update Details:

Beyond the absence of a rank reset, the mid-season update will introduce The Thing and Human Torch as playable characters. Specific character balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs) haven't been detailed yet, but are expected to impact gameplay significantly.

Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
