This announcement has generated a diverse range of fan reactions. Many are celebrating the game's ongoing success, but others have raised concerns following the recent downsizing of the U.S.-based support team. Some players advocate for the reinstatement of key developers who contributed to the game's popularity, while others offer humorous commentary on the irony of layoffs amidst such growth.
The layoffs, attributed to a need for "development efficiency optimization," have fueled speculation about NetEase prioritizing its Chinese development teams. However, the future remains positive for Marvel Rivals. Exciting new content is on the horizon, including the highly anticipated addition of popular characters like Human Torch, Thing, and Blade. Human Torch and Thing are slated to arrive this Friday, February 21st.
