NetEase's recent financial report, as highlighted by analyst Daniel Ahmad, reveals that Marvel Rivals, the multiplayer shooter, has surpassed 40 million players. While this significant milestone hasn't been officially acknowledged by the developers, it's sparked considerable discussion among fans.

The announcement comes amidst controversy following recent layoffs of the U.S.-based support team, attributed to "development efficiency optimization." This has led to speculation about NetEase focusing development on Chinese teams and prompted mixed reactions from players, with some advocating for the rehiring of key contributors to the game's success.
Despite these challenges, the future of Marvel Rivals appears strong. New content is on the horizon, including the highly anticipated additions of Human Torch and Thing, arriving this Friday, February 21st, followed by Blade at a later date. This continued influx of popular characters suggests a commitment to maintaining the game's momentum and player engagement.
