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

A major update is hitting *Marvel Rivals* soon, and there's been some confusion about a potential rank reset. While many games reset ranks at the start of each season, giving everyone a fresh start, *Marvel Rivals* initially planned a mid-season reset for Season 1 on February 21, 2025. This was intended to coincide with the release of The Thing and Human Torch, two new heroes poised to shake up the meta.

However, player feedback overwhelmingly opposed the mid-season reset. In response, NetEase Games announced a change of plans: “After the release of Dev Talk 10 regarding the seasonal rank adjustment, we received a wealth of feedback from the community,” the *Marvel Rivals* team stated. “A common concern was the pressure associated with having a rank reset every half-season, which has made participating in competitive mode less enjoyable. In light of the community’s input, we have decided to make some changes to optimize the rank system.”

The good news? There will be *no* mid-season rank reset. Players retain their current ranks and scores. To earn new rewards, simply complete 10 competitive matches and meet the required conditions by the end of Season 1. These rewards include a new Gold rank costume and various Crests of Honor with unique designs.

This decision showcases NetEase's responsiveness to player feedback, a positive sign for the game's future. It gives top-ranked players more time to compete at the highest level.
