NetEase's recent financial report, as highlighted by analyst Daniel Ahmad, reveals that Marvel Rivals, the multiplayer shooter, has surpassed 40 million players.

While many celebrate the game's continued success, the recent layoffs of the U.S.-based support team have cast a shadow. These layoffs, attributed to "development efficiency optimization," have sparked speculation about a shift in NetEase's development focus towards their Chinese teams. Some players advocate for the rehiring of key personnel who contributed to the game's popularity, while others offer humorous commentary on the irony of layoffs amidst such growth.
Despite the controversy surrounding the layoffs, the future of Marvel Rivals appears promising. Exciting new content is on the horizon, including the highly anticipated addition of fan-favorite characters like Human Torch, Thing, and Blade. Human Torch and Thing are slated to join the roster this Friday, February 21st.
