Summary
- Marvel Rivals will not reset player ranks in the mid-season update, keeping the ranks intact on February 21.
- Competitive players who reach Gold rank will receive a new Invisible Woman skin.
- The update will introduce The Thing and Human Torch to Marvel Rivals, completing The Fantastic Four roster.
In a recent announcement, Marvel Rivals declared that it no longer plans to reset the ranks of its players during the upcoming mid-season update. Marvel Rivals‘ Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is almost halfway over, which means fans can expect to see a large patch on February 21. NetEase Games has announced that significant content is on the way, such as a new map and the remainder of The Fantastic Four.
On February 10, Marvel Rivals released Dev Talk 10 on their Twitter account, in which the developers stated that the mid-season update would come with a rank reset for Competitive players. While this wouldn’t send everyone back to Bronze, it did mean all gamers would lose six ranks on February 21. The news shocked and upset a large portion of the Marvel Rivals community, causing them to take to social media and provide feedback to the developers. Many fans felt that losing ranks was unfair and would make Competitive play less fun. For the most part, the community seemed to understand that some kind of reset should be expected in between seasons, but not in the middle of one.

Marvel Rivals Announces There Will Be No Rank Reset in Season 1
February 21 will still mark the mid-way point of the season, which means Competitive players will still be given rewards. Players who reach at least Gold rank will be given a new skin for Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals, while gamers who manage to reach Grandmaster and above will be rewarded with a unique Crest of Honor. This means that the second half of the season will come with the opportunity to earn another free skin along with an additional crest of honor. In order to claim these prizes, players will need to participate in at least 10 Competitive matches to establish their rank, even if it remains unchanged.
The upcoming update will also be the debut of The Thing and Human Torch in Marvel Rivals. The two heroes will round out The Fantastic Four, bringing the title’s total roster to 39. While there’s no official confirmation yet, leakers have claimed that The Thing will be a Vanguard and Human Torch will be a Duelist. Regardless of their roles, many fans are excited to see the iconic characters come to the popular hero shooter.
