Marvel Rivals Devs Tackle Cross-Progression Challenges
Marvel Rivals has been making waves in the gaming world since its big free-to-play launch. Despite facing stiff competition, this comic book shooter has managed to maintain its momentum. However, there's one feature that fans are eagerly waiting for: cross-progression. Unlike other popular games like Fortnite and Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals doesn't yet allow players to carry data between different platforms.
What's Missing in Marvel Rivals?
Marvel Rivals launched with cross-play, allowing players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC to battle together. But, it lacks the ability to sync progress across these platforms. This feature, known as cross-progression, is something that the developers at NetEase Games are actively working on.
Developer Insights
Creative director Guangyun "Guangguang" Chen has assured fans that the team is looking into the complex platform-specific rules involved in cross-progression. They're committed to solving this issue and will update players as soon as they have a solution.
Challenges and Expectations
While the developers are optimistic, there's no specific timeline for when cross-progression will be available. Historically, games like Destiny 2 and Final Fantasy XIV took years to implement this feature. However, newer games are prioritizing it sooner, reflecting the current trend of platform-hopping.
What's Next for Marvel Rivals?
In the meantime, Marvel Rivals is introducing a Splatoon-like mode in its winter update. The game is still in season 0, with season 1 expected to launch in mid-January. This new season will likely bring new characters and content. Hopefully, cross-progression will be part of this exciting update.
