Seasonal rewards adjustments
In response to community feedback, NetEase has adjusted how seasonal rewards will be distributed. The first half of Season 1 will conclude on February 21, 2025, at 8 AM (UTC). Players who reach Gold rank by this deadline will still receive the Invisible Woman Blood Shield skin as originally promised.
However, in a move to accommodate players who haven’t yet reached Gold, Marvel Rivals will adjust the requirements for getting Blood Shield skin. Now you will only need to play 10 ranked games to get your seasonal rewards skin. Players who hit the Gold rank during the second half of the season and participate in at least 10 competitive matches will also receive the Blood Shield skin. Additionally, the second half introduces a brand-new Human Torch Blood Blaze costume as another exclusive ranked reward.
Note: This change only affects skins; crests will be rewarded as before.
Community backlash and immediate response
The initial decision to reset ranks by four divisions mid-season was met with heavy criticism from the Marvel Rivals community. Many players feared they would not have enough time to reach the necessary rank to claim their rewards. Following this backlash, NetEase quickly reversed its stance, opting instead for this revised Seasonal Rewards system.
Final chance before Season 2
These skins will be the final chance for players to earn these exclusive cosmetics, as they will be replaced with new rewards in Season 2. Players aiming to collect both the Invisible Woman Blood Shield and Human Torch Blood Blaze skins must ensure they participate in the ranked mode before the season ends.
If you are still having trouble with ranked mode, you can always buy Marvel Rivals boosting to get your desired rank.
With these adjustments, NetEase aims to balance rewarding dedicated players while ensuring fairness for those still climbing the ranks.
