NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating immense excitement ahead of its Season 1 update. Many players are eager to gain early access. This guide explains how to potentially join the select group enjoying the update early.
How to Potentially Access Marvel Rivals Season 1 Early
The buzz surrounding Season 1 is fueled by the developers' frequent social media reveals showcasing the new content. However, early access for some streamers has left many feeling excluded. Here's how you might secure early access:
The key is joining the game's Creator Community. This group receives early access to updates and exclusive information. While it might seem exclusive to major streamers, 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.
- Complete the form with all required information.
- Await a response from NetEase Games.
Important Note: While the application doesn't explicitly require follower counts or channel statistics, NetEase will likely identify accounts created solely for early access. New creators may want to delay applying until they've established a presence.
What Awaits in Marvel Rivals Season 1?
Even if you miss the Creator Community window for Season 1, 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 Blood Berserker Wolverine and Bounty Hunter Rocket Raccoon.
- Character balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs – see The Escapist for details).
Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
