The announcement sparked mixed reactions among fans. While many celebrated the game’s continued success, others pointed out the recent layoffs of the U.S.-based support team for Marvel Rivals Some players suggested rehiring the creators who contributed significantly to the game's popularity, while others humorously joked about the possibility of more layoffs in light of its growing success.
The layoffs were reportedly due to a need for "development efficiency optimization," leading to speculation that NetEase intends to focus development efforts on their Chinese teams. Despite these controversies, the future looks bright for Marvel Rivals Fans can expect plenty of new content, including the addition of fan-favorite characters such as Human Torch, Thing, and Blade. The first two are set to join the game this Friday, February 21st.
