Marvel Rivals – Magneto Nerf, Loki and Jeff Buffs, and Improved Animations Confirmed for Launch

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and nostalgia when it comes to Marvel Rivals. The latest Developer Vision video has certainly piqued my interest, particularly with the confirmation that Magneto is getting a much-needed nerf for launch. I’ve had my fair share of battles against him during betas, so this news is music to my ears!


As a gaming enthusiast, I’m pumped to share some exciting updates about Marvel Rivals! Just checked out the latest Developer Vision video where Zhiyong, our lead combat designer, spilled the beans on some juicy topics. First up, Magneto, who caused quite a stir during the betas, is getting toned down for the launch. On the flip side, Jeff and Loki are set to receive some boosts! Can’t wait to see these changes in action!

Significant efforts have been dedicated not only to enhancing the overall visuals but also specific details such as smoothing transitions and animations, especially for heroic figures with an emphasis on spectacular actions by characters like Magik and Hulk. Additionally, hit effects and elemental markings have been optimized to be more noticeable from a greater distance, while the force of left-click attacks from characters like Mantis and Hela has been amplified.

The sound design now boasts enhanced functionality and impactful sound effects. A more refined mixing technique will bring attention to signals indicating “looming danger.” The user interface is now easier to understand with clear indicators for reloading, and certain characters have unique aspects. For instance, Mantis has a greater understanding of which heroes are affected by her damage bonus.

On their official site, NetEase plans to offer statistics about the heroes, such as pick and win percentages, but it may require a bit of time to establish this feature. Keep an eye out for updates in future developer blogs.

On December 6th, the game titled Marvel Rivals is set to debut on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and personal computers. At its release, players can expect a total of eight maps and 33 characters to choose from, with the latest addition being Hawkeye.
