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 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 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 Crests of Honor, players simply need to complete 10 competitive matches and meet the specified conditions by the end of the season.

This decision demonstrates NetEase's responsiveness to player feedback and commitment to improving the competitive experience. It provides players, especially those in higher ranks, with extended time to compete and climb the leaderboard.

Beyond the cancellation of the rank reset, the mid-season update will introduce The Thing and Human Torch as playable characters. While specific balance changes (buffs and nerfs) haven't been detailed, this addition is expected to significantly impact the game's meta.

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