It’s quite an incredible feat the team pulled off, though we aren’t surprised to see these numbers, considering the popularity of the Marvel IP and how many enjoyed the previous closed beta tests. I guess you could say that anyone saw this success coming, but at the same time, in a year where we’ve seen a few multiplayer games tank, whether upon release or later on, there’s always some uncertainty regarding potentially being a hit.
Now, whether NetEase can continue its momentum in the coming months is anyone’s guess. As long as it maintains good communication with the fans and has a good release schedule for content drops, we expect Marvel Rivals will be here for the long haul.
Marvel Rivals is now available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles.
