Despite the fact that Marvel Rivals started strongly, taking a significant part of the audience from Overwatch 2, NetEase believes that both games can successfully coexist in the market.

Here's What We Know

Marvel Rivals quickly gained popularity, reaching 40 million players in a few months. At the same time, Overwatch 2 lost about 40% of its audience. However, after the release of the 15th season and the change of management, Overwatch 2 managed to partially regain its position, increasing the number of players by 17%.

During its recent earnings report, NetEase stated that "Marvel Rivals and Overwatch are great superhero shooters, well-designed and supported by outstanding teams.

We believe the market is big enough to accommodate two great games

We would like to remind you that Marvel Rivals is planned to be supported and developed for another 10 years (and beyond).
