In a recent developer update, NetEase Games has shared details about the adjustments in balancing that will be implemented during Season 1 of Marvel Rivals. This new season is set to introduce Dracula as the primary antagonist and bring The Fantastic Four into the growing cast of Marvel Rivals. Players are eagerly anticipating the start of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, which is scheduled for January 10 at 1 AM PST.

According to a recent post by NetEase Games, Season 1 will bring three fresh maps, an innovative game mode titled “Doom Match,” and a comprehensive battle pass featuring 10 unique skins. The battle pass will set you back 990 lattice, approximately equivalent to $10. As you accomplish tasks, you’ll earn 600 Lattice and 600 Units by advancing through the game’s pass. Additionally, Mister Fantastic and The Invisible Woman are expected to debut in Marvel Rivals at the start of the season, with Human Torch and The Thing arriving around six or seven weeks later.

In the latest Dev Vision video, Marvel Rivals has disclosed adjustments to the balance for Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, revealing that Hela and Hawkeye will experience a toning down (nerfs) due to their excessive power demonstrated throughout Season 0. These characters were frequently banned in higher-tier play within the renowned hero shooter. The developers expressed a desire to enhance the performance of Vanguards who rely on mobility when charging into combat, thus characters like Captain America and Venom will receive boosts (buffs) to facilitate this aim.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Balancing Changes for Venom, Hawkeye, Wolverine, and More

In the game Marvel Rivals, Wolverine and Storm are set to receive enhancements, making it more appealing for players to employ these mutants in specific tactics. Previously, a number of players have advocated for buffs or even overhauls for these legendary characters, with some even proposing that Wolverine should be transformed into a Vanguard. Similarly, Cloak and Dagger will be getting a boost, as the developers aim to see them functioning effectively across various team configurations. Additionally, changes are being made to Jeff the Land Shark in Marvel Rivals, as players have pointed out discrepancies between his early warning signals and the actual hit box of his ultimate ability. However, NetEase Games has not disclosed any significant alterations to Jeff’s overpowered ultimate ability yet.

NetEase Games has remained silent regarding the Seasonal Bonus feature in Marvel Rivals, despite anticipation from fans who speculate that certain heroes could lose their bonuses while others might gain new advantages. This feature has stirred up some debate, as multiple players argue that the game would be more balanced without it. The first season of Marvel Rivals appears to be brimming with fresh content and updates, causing a wave of excitement among players eager to dive into the new season at its release.
