NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating immense excitement ahead of its Season 1 update. Many players are eager to gain early access. While the initial Creator Community application window for Season 1 access may have closed, here's how to potentially participate in future early access opportunities:
The buzz surrounding the update is fueled by frequent content reveals on the game's official social media channels. However, early access was granted to a select group of content creators. This isn't limited to established streamers; anyone can apply.
To apply for future early access programs:
- Visit the Creator Hub on the official Marvel Rivals website.
- Locate and complete the application form at the bottom of the page.
- Await NetEase Games' response.
It's important to note that while the application doesn't explicitly request follower counts or channel statistics, applicants should have an established online presence. Newly created accounts solely for early access may not be successful.
Season 1 Content:
While early access may be missed this time, Season 1 launches officially on 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 breakdown for more information.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
