The announcement comes amidst some controversy following the recent layoffs of the U.S.-based support team. This restructuring, attributed to a need for "development efficiency optimization," has sparked debate among players, with some suggesting the rehiring of key developers who contributed to the game's initial success. Others have reacted with humorous speculation about the irony of layoffs occurring alongside such significant growth. The layoffs reportedly signal a shift towards focusing development on NetEase's Chinese teams.

However, the future remains positive for Marvel Rivals. Exciting new content is on the horizon, including the highly anticipated additions of fan-favorite characters Human Torch and Thing, arriving this Friday, February 21st. Blade is also slated to join the roster in the future.
