NetEase Games

As a free-to-play hero shooter, Marvel Rivals has an enormous universe and an amazing cast of iconic characters. This game makes sure that any player may jump into the action without spending any money on unlocking characters, launching with 33 fully playable heroes and villains from the Marvel universe. Players may put together their own squad from a roster of legendary Marvel characters, like the strategic brains of Mister Fantastic and the sheer might of The Hulk, and battle it out across breathtaking, dynamic environments.

When it comes to in-game purchases, Marvel Rivals focuses on cosmetic upgrades and Battle Passes, but the basic gameplay is still open to everyone. Players can add a touch of character customization to their heroes with a wide selection of skins, drawing inspiration from comics, movies, and original ideas. Each skin has its own special place in Marvel legend. With these cosmetics, which range from rare to legendary, you can personalize your gaming experience without affecting the competitive balance.

Marvel Rivals Season 2 rank reset and competitive mode explained
Psylocke in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals' highly anticipated Season 2, named Hellfire Gala, has begun, enthralling players with a stunning assortment of new content. The season introduces Emma Frost, the diamond-clad X-Men vanguard, as well as a new Domination map set in the opulent Krakoa. NetEase Games has released a vivid Battle Pass with 10 new outfits, including free skins like Scarlet Witch's Chaos Gown, which can be unlocked through gameplay. The Cerebro Database event and improved Team-Up abilities add to the experience by shaking up strategy and meta dynamics. Season 2 promises to keep the hero shooter's momentum going, especially with Ultron on the way.

Despite the excitement, competitive players have also seen some big changes that have spurred fierce debate within the community. Following the roster additions of The Thing and Human Torch in Season 1.5, NetEase is focusing on improving the ranked experience even further. The developer's ambition to balance ranked lobbies has resulted in radical changes that address comments from Season 1's skipped mid-season reset. As the competitive scene advances, the stakes become increasingly high, paving the way for a modified ladder. Here are all the changes made in Marvel Rivals' competitive mode in Season 2.

Marvel Rivals’ Season 2 introduced sweeping changes to its competitive mode, aiming to refine matchmaking, enhance strategic depth, and reward player dedication.
Rank Reset
Season 2 brought a massive rank reset, lowering all players by nine divisions based on their Season 1.5 rankings. For example, a Diamond I player now starts at Silver I, while those below Gold II are demoted to Bronze III. This reset, the first big one since Season 1's mid-season reset was canceled due to backlash, seeks to redistribute players for more equitable matchmaking. NetEase believes this fosters skill-based growth, but some lower-ranked players are dreading the trek back to higher ranks. The reset coincides with new content, such as Emma Frost's addition, to renew the competitive meta.
