- Fan feedback influences game improvements and future updates
Marvel Rivals has been performing outstandingly since the launch, and NetEase is now up to support the game for 10 years. The company is fully committed to investing in Marvel Rivals and shaping it into one of the exceptional titles.
Right after the launch, Marvel Rivals attained a massive fanbase, and within the period of 3 months, its player base includes over 40 million players. This shooter game, packed with intense action and gameplay, has become a beloved title to millions of fans.
They have found it better and more exciting than other live service games. Despite the challenges and other hindrances, the game survived them all; it is constantly thriving and doesn’t seem to slow down anytime soon.
A Decade of Support and Growth
In a recent earnings call, NetEase confirmed its long-term plans for Marvel Rivals, when the company was asked about the future plans, it said (Via The Gamer),
“Marvel Rivals, especially after Season One, has gained wide appraisal from worldwide players. This is a product we’re going to keep investing in, both in development and in marketing. We do believe this is a product we’re going to keep operating, keep enhancing, and keep investing in for ten years and beyond.”
NetEase also emphasized that it aims for continuous investment, development, inclusion of new content, and regular updates. Further stated, “The team does have plans for e-sports.
We’re going to announce our esports plans to further enhance our gaming ecosystem. We’re also going to do a lot of crossover events and promotions with other media in the future.”
Continuous Growth and Player-Centric Strategies
However, NetEase has been pouring these efforts since day one, which made players hooked to the game in no time. First, the thrill began with season 1, and then update 1.5 added the cherry on top of the excitement.
Developers introduced seasonal events, including Winter and Spring festivals or celebrations and new characters. The company shared the plan of adding two new characters every season, which further got the attention of fans and made them more interested in the game.
Moreover, NetEase has used these strategies to expand its audience and collaborated with Nvidia to use its Geforce cloud gaming technology. Through this, it has become possible to play Marvel Rivals on almost any online device.
Although the game’s reputation was affected due to cheating issues, NetEase, dealing with it on serious levels, recently banned the usage of Blitz, which has been declared responsible for promoting unfair gameplay in Marvel Rivals.

Earlier this month, a decision was made to add the mid-season rank reset system, but players didn’t like this idea at all, and the company promptly changed the plan after considering the players’ feedback.
As mentioned in the announcement regarding esports, fans are eagerly waiting for a moment when they will be able to participate in competitive tournaments or matches that will add more layers to the fun.
Right now players are busy enjoying the new update and Fantastic Four characters, but also waiting for the arrival of new ones like a recent leak has suggested the joining of Emma Frost in future.
