Marvel Rivals Adding Human Torch And The Thing Very Soon, Alongside A Rank Reset

Marvel Rivals will receive its mid-Season 1 update on February 21, bringing new heroes, big changes to the game's meta, and a rank reset for competitive mode enjoyers, developer NetEase has announced.

In a blog post, NetEase said competitive players will have their ranks drop four divisions following the mid-season update. The mid-season rank drop is happening due to "major balance changes" that are expected to "shake-up the battlefield" for the remainder of the game's first competitive season.

There are a few additional changes coming to competitive as well, with a new Gold rank and above costume for players to earn and Crests of Honor cosmetics for players at Grandmaster rank and above that will have a unique design each season. NetEase said players will need to complete 10 matches in competitive mode in order to claim the rewards for any given season.
