Is Marvel Rivals Doing a Mid Season Rank Reset for Season 1?

The upcoming major update for Marvel Rivals has sparked some confusion regarding a potential rank reset. While many live-service games reset ranks at the start of each season, providing a fresh start, Marvel Rivals initially planned a mid-season reset for Season 1 on February 21, 2025, coinciding with the release of The Thing and Human Torch. This decision, however, met with significant player backlash.

Responding to player feedback, NetEase Games announced a change of plans. The mid-season rank reset has been cancelled. Players will retain their current ranks and scores. To earn new rewards, players simply need to complete 10 competitive matches and meet specific conditions by the end of the season. These rewards include a new Gold rank costume and various Crests of Honor with unique designs for Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and One Above All ranks.

This decision showcases NetEase's responsiveness to player concerns and offers top-ranked players an extended period to compete at the highest level. It also highlights the developer's commitment to listening to community feedback.
