Marvel Rivals: 40 Million Players and Counting!

Despite recent industry whispers of potential decline, the multiplayer shooter Marvel Rivals continues to flourish, boasting over 40 million players according to NetEase's latest financial report, as highlighted by analyst Daniel Ahmad. While NetEase hasn't officially commented, this impressive player count is undeniable.

The news has generated a diverse response from the fanbase. While many rejoice in the game's ongoing success, the recent dismissal of the U.S.-based support team has cast a shadow. Some players advocate for the re-employment of key developers instrumental in the game's popularity, while others offer humorous commentary on the irony of layoffs amidst such growth.

The layoffs, attributed to "development efficiency optimization," have fueled speculation about NetEase shifting development focus to their Chinese teams. However, the future remains positive for Marvel Rivals. Exciting new content is on the horizon, including the highly anticipated arrival of fan favorites Human Torch and Thing this Friday, February 21st, with Blade also planned for future release.
