Marvel Rivals continues to evolve as a live-service title with its next update for season 4.5 next week, and it's bringing a feature that players have wanted since before launch.
While the main content for the Oct. 10 update will be the new Duelist hero Daredevil, NetEase Games confirmed today that the season 4.5 patch will introduce cross-progression between platforms to "a small group of players" before going live for everyone in season five next month.
Players in season 4.5 will "test and provide feedback" on the feature that allows Marvel Rivals gamers to use their accounts and progression across different platforms, like console and PC. I've been waiting for this one myself, as PC is my main platform, but I would love to play the game to complete challenges and games on my PS5 while in bed.
The main caveat is that ranks and battle stats will remain independently tracked between platforms, so you won't be able to carry over your PC rank to your Xbox, for example. But the ability to level up battle passes and quests will remain, and that's all I was hoping for.
Elsewhere, Daredevil sounds like a pretty fun character, judging by the Dev Vision update put out by NetEase. It's said that he can "pick a priority target" and then close in on them with his agility to beat them up with his billy clubs. More info on the hero will be revealed in the lead-up to the update on Oct. 10.
Team-Up Abilities are changing in season 4.5, too. Ragnarok Rebirth is being removed while Namor is being removed from Gamma Charge, but two new ones are coming: Bestial Hunt (Daredevil and Punisher) and Deep Wrath (Namor and Hela), both aiming to shake up the meta.
In the video, NetEase also teased a new mode coming to season 4.5 (to be revealed at a later date), along with a Halloween event that features costumes for Peni Parker, Jeff the Landshark, Namor, Scarlet Witch, Blade, and Spider-Man.
