While Marvel Rivals has been incredibly popular since its release, and especially since the launch of its first season, questions have risen about the game’s future for more competitive-oriented players.
Creative director Guangyun Chen revealed in an interview with Metro that the developers at NetEase Games want Marvel Rivals to be a game that appeals to every kind of player.
When it comes to competitive multiplayer, one of the biggest questions tends to be about how the game and its developers would handle tournaments.
Chen talks about how the ranked mode-playing competitive scene for the game could potentially co-exist with a more casual player base that primarily tends to stick to quick play. “We’ve actually been thinking about this on a broader scale, looking at the picture as a whole,” said Chen in the interview. “We really hope that when we do the competitive modes or tournaments, they will co-exist with our quick play.
That’s because we’ve been seeing a lot of other successful titles being able to pull off a competitive environment and a quick play environment both healthily at the same time.
