In just 10 days, the Marvel Rivals Ranked Mode update will hit a major milestone — and with it, a dramatic shift for players. The Thing and the Human Torch are set to join the game next Friday, marking the long-awaited full reunion of the Fantastic Four in one of this winter’s most anticipated titles.
As Ranked Mode reaches its checkpoint, top players will unlock exclusive rewards: Gold rank and above will receive special character skins, while Grandmaster-tier players will earn the prestigious Crest of Honor.
But there’s a catch — and it’s causing backlash. All players will face a partial rank reset, dropping four divisions. The move has sparked frustration across the community, with many criticizing the loss of hard-earned progress mid-season. Casual players, in particular, worry the reset could discourage continued participation.
Still, there’s hope. Developers have confirmed they’re actively monitoring feedback and remain open to adjusting the system. If the outcry continues, a future revision may be on the table.
For now, the countdown is on — and the fate of the Ranked ladder may hinge on what players say next.
