The announcement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding layoffs within the U.S.-based support team. These layoffs, attributed to a need for "development efficiency optimization," have led to speculation about NetEase shifting development focus towards their Chinese teams. Player reactions have been mixed, with some celebrating the game's success while others express concern and suggest rehiring key contributors to the game's popularity. Some even lightheartedly speculated about the irony of layoffs amidst such growth.
Despite these challenges, the future of Marvel Rivals appears strong. Exciting new content is on the horizon, including the highly anticipated additions of fan-favorite characters Human Torch and Thing, arriving this Friday, February 21st. Blade is also slated to join the roster in the future.
