Ahead of this,NetEasehas released patch notes for an update which is claimed will enable “a broader roster to partake in more intricate gameplay, ensuring a richer, more engaging, and diverse gaming experience for all.”
However, Team-Up abilities won’t be touched too much, as the developer believes players need more time to get used to the system and deploy it in-game before its effectiveness can be accurately judged.
“At the same time, regarding Season Bonuses and Team-Ups, we’d like to clarify that given the brief duration of Season 0 and everyone’s recent acclimatization toMarvel Rivals, we will not make extensive changes to or adjust Team-Up abilities in Season 1,” it said.
“Instead, we will make minor adjustments to the existing Team-Up values. Fear not, for we are planning exciting redesigns and adjustments to Team-Up abilities in Season 2.”
The full patch notes can be accessed on the Marvel Rivalswebsite.
