NetEase Implementing “Countermeasures” to Marvel Rivals Leaks
Ever since its release, Marvel Rivals has been the victim of leaks that prematurely revealed new characters appearing in the free-to-play hero shooter, thus ruining the surprise.
That could change soon, based on NetEase’s recent statement about it to MP1st.
Marvel Rivals Leaks Might Be Coming to an End Soon
In a chat with MP1st at the recent Ignite Tournament in Guangzhou, China, Marvel Rivals game director Guangguang answered a series of questions from us. One of the topics we inquired about was leaks.
MP1st: What is the studio’s stance on leaks? It seems like it’s kind of changed. It seems like every time something new comes out, there’s a new leak. Have you just kind of embraced that over time or how does the studio handle that at this point?
Guangguang, via a translator, answered, “Yeah, we do see that, but actually we’re actually implementing countermeasures to actually prevent some of the still-in-development content to be leaked.”
The interesting thing about leaks for the game is that they usually are spot-on. While some haven’t come to fruition yet, it seems like it’s only a matter of time until it does. Most recently, gameplay of Blade from Season 3 was leaked ahead of the character’s official reveal, which I gather isn’t something NetEase wants happening frequently.
We have no idea yet how NetEase plans to combat this. Could it be fake files? I suppose we’ll know soon enough when the leaks stop surfacing,
In related news, Team RAD won the Ignite Tournament in China, which netted them not only credibility, but also some sweet cash prize money too.
