The Next ‘Marvel Rivals' Update Will Feel the Fury of the Phoenix Force

Marvel Rivals might be moving on from Krakoa for its new season, but that doesn't mean mutants are leaving the spotlight: Jean Grey is the latest X-Men superstar to join the game's roster of playable characters in a new spacebound season, alongside the arrival of the long-awaited Blade. Netease confirmed the theme for Rivals' third season in a new trailer released today, which will focus on Venom's homeworld Klyntar and the rise of Knull, the creator of the symbiote race, as he transforms Hela into his 'Queen in Black' in a bid to grow his influence across the cosmos. But of course, a vast cosmic being like the Phoenix Force doesn't take too kindly to that sort of thing, and dispatches Jean Grey to the world to purify it in flame—with a little help from a vampiric ally. Blade, while less of a surprise than Phoenix, is still a welcome addition to Rivals roster. The character has been teased as part of the lore in the game almost since launch, with background for Rivals' first season seeing Blade captured and imprisoned by Dracula himself during a vampiric invasion of New York. Blade was even viewable on a map added into the game, and while additional story releases eventually detailed his freedom, fans have had to wait a little while for him to finally take up arms and join the Rivals lineup. Little is currently known about how Phoenix and Blade will play (the trailer teases at least that Jean will balance her fiery phoenix force abilities with her psychic powers as part of her kit), or how either character will fit into the game's Vanguard-Strategist-Dualist role triangle. With Emma Frost and Ultron bulking up the Vanguard and Strategist casts, respectively, last season, it wouldn't be too surprising to see both Phoenix and Blade grow the crew of damage-dealing duelists. Phoenix and Blade's arrivals herald a change to Rivals' approach to character and season launches that will now see the already-expansive cast of the game grow on a more regular basis. While the launch of the game and seasons one and two operated on three-month rotations, adding a new hero at the start and midway points (outside of season 1's abnormal rollout of the entire Fantastic Four), starting with season three, the game will switch to a two-month seasonal length, releasing a new hero every month. Season 3 of Marvel Rivals, 'The Abyss Awakens,' is set to launch July 11. No doubt we'll learn more about how Jean and Eric play soon. Want more io9 news?

《漫威爭鋒》網易美國工作室裁員熱議,官方回應:沒有總監被開除,都是謠言

中國大陸網易旗下《漫威爭鋒》(Marvel Rivals)從去年 12 月推出後,人氣居高不下,在 Steam 仍保持超過 30 多萬人在線。然而最近卻有消息傳出,《漫威爭鋒》的總監和團隊遭到解僱,對此社群經理卻直接闢謠,並且批評媒體用詞有問題,稱:「沒有總監被開除,這都是謠言」 事件起因是美國西雅圖的網易工作室,負責協助開發《漫威爭鋒》的關卡設計師 Jack Burrows,在 Linkedin 上發文說自己被解數了,所以正在尋找新的工作機會。同樣的,擔任西雅圖工作室遊戲總監的 Thaddeus Sasser,也提到自己被解僱的消息,一邊抱怨一邊介紹自己的員工:「我協助開發價值數十億美元的系列作品。這真是一個奇怪的產業...我那優秀且才華橫溢的團隊剛協助網易遊戲推出了一個超級成功的新系列作品《漫威爭鋒》...結果卻被裁員了!」 Marvel Rivals director and team laid off according to posts — Wario64 (@Wario64) February 18, 2025 這消息讓許多喜愛《漫威爭鋒》的玩家都感到錯愕,不理解為什麼網易要在成功後開除團隊,甚至是重要的遊戲總監。網友更懷疑是不是網易在遊戲成功後,為了節省成本的選擇,更擔心遊戲未來的品質是否會受到影響。 而對此,《漫威爭鋒》官方 Discord 上的社群經理 James 回應並批評媒體:「有一件事情我想要澄清一下。只有一位總監,那就是陳廣雲,我不喜歡散佈不實謠言,詆毀我們團隊自開發以來所投入的心血。在你們甚至不了解《漫威爭鋒》開發團隊內部結構的情況下,請不要妄下職場騷擾的結論。我這麼說僅僅是因為媒體最初的措辭完全錯誤,非常可笑。」後續 James 也補充相信上層的決定,他知道這不會影響到遊戲。 事後,有許多媒體人,包含前《魔獸世界》製作人「Grummz」Mark Kern,都解釋被解僱的是只有 6 人的美國支援工作室,並非《漫威爭鋒》在中國大陸的開發團隊,真正的創意總監仍然在網易,沒有被開除。Thaddeus Sasser 是負責預算和人力管理的部分,這次裁員更像是進行重組,不是什麼影響遊戲的重大決定。 It's wild to see the Marvel Rivals thing be spun out of proportion by legacy media in real-time. The impact seems far less than they are reporting. Here is what we know:- 6 people were laid off from the US division of Netease. This may have been the entire size of the Seattle… — Grummz (@Grummz) February 18, 2025 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠,追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台! 🎉📱 Tech Facebook: 🎉📱 Tech Instagram: 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群: 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道: 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道:
