NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating major buzz, and its upcoming Season 1 update is no exception. Many players are eager to get early access. This guide explains how to potentially join the select few.
How to Potentially Gain Early Access to Marvel Rivals Season 1
The excitement surrounding Marvel Rivals' Season 1 is fueled by online reveals. The developers are showcasing upcoming content via social media, but many streamers already have early access, leaving some players feeling excluded. Here's how to increase your chances:
The key to early access lies in the game's Creator Community. This group of players, selected via application, receives early updates and information. While it might seem exclusive, anyone can apply. Follow these steps:
- Visit the Creator Hub on the official Marvel Rivals website.
- Locate the application form at the bottom of the page and complete it thoroughly.
- Await NetEase Games' response.
Important Note: While the application doesn't explicitly request follower counts or channel statistics, applicants with newly created accounts solely for early access may be less likely to be selected. New creators might consider waiting before applying.
What Awaits in Marvel Rivals Season 1?
Even if you miss the Creator Community window for Season 1 (which is likely closed now), the update launches Friday, January 10th. Expect:
- Two new playable characters: Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman.
- New maps and game modes.
- A substantial Battle Pass with 10 unlockable skins, including the Blood Berserker Wolverine and Bounty Hunter Rocket Raccoon costumes.
- Character balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs – see The Escapist's detailed analysis for specifics).
That's how to aim for early access to Marvel Rivals Season 1.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
