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 arrival 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 ranks and scores. To earn new rewards, players simply need to complete 10 competitive matches and fulfill specific conditions by the season's end. These rewards include a new Gold rank costume and various Crests of Honor with unique designs for Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and One Above All ranks.
This decision showcases NetEase's responsiveness to player feedback, demonstrating a commitment to improving the competitive experience. The absence of a mid-season reset provides players, particularly those in higher ranks, with an extended period to compete.
