Regarding the new “Art Vision” series, NetEase said:
In a new online video series, Art Vision, the visual team dives into their inspirations and foundations for designing the world of Marvel Rivals. In the first-ever Art Vision Vol. 01 – The Genesis of Style, go behind the scenes with Art Director, Dino Ma, and other talented design experts to get the inside scoop on the processes for creating the interface design, artistic styles, animations, and so much more.
You can keep up to date with the patch notes for the game here, as the team is regularly balancing and adjusting the title. For example, on April 17th, the team adjusted Wolverine: “Wolverine’s Claw-some Comeback: Fixed an issue where Wolverine’s Ultimate Ability landing sometimes wouldn’t finish properly in poor network conditions. Now, the best there is at what he does can unleash his fury without any hiccups!”, and there’s a lot more fixes, too.
Marvel Rivals is out now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
