The excitement is building as we approach the full reunion of the Fantastic Four in one of this winter's most anticipated games. Next Friday, Marvel Rivals will see the addition of The Thing and The Human Torch with the launch of the next major update, promising to bring new dynamics and excitement to the gameplay.
In just 10 days, a significant checkpoint in the ranked mode will be reached. Players who have engaged in ranked matches will be rewarded, and those who have achieved Gold rank or above will unlock exclusive skins. For the elite players reaching Grandmaster rank or higher, a special Crest of Honor awaits, adding a prestigious touch to their achievements.
However, there's a downside to this update. The ranks will undergo a partial reset, with each player dropping four divisions. This decision has stirred some controversy among the player base, as many are unhappy about losing progress mid-season. The grind back up the ranks can be daunting, and this reset might deter casual players from continuing to engage with the ranked mode.
On a more positive note, the developers have expressed openness to making adjustments based on community feedback. Should the response to the rank reset be overwhelmingly negative, there's a possibility they might reconsider and revise this approach to better suit the players' preferences.
