Will Marvel Rivals retain all these players in the next few years? Image via Marvel Rivals In just a few days, Marvel Rivals became a huge success and there are already many gamers claiming that it should be the new standard for free-to-play multiplayer experiences, mainly due to the fact that it has 33 unlocked characters from the start, its gameplay is very accessible, and its monetization can be easily ignored. However, as impressive as these 10 million players are, it's crucial for NetEase to actually retain their attention for the next few years, which is not always easy to do. As long as they keep adding more modes, arenas, and characters, Marvel Rivals will likely keep amassing new players without any issues. Fortunately for both the company and fans, the Marvel universe has a huge cast of iconic superheroes, super villains, and locations to choose from, so keeping this huge player base engaged for many years shouldn't be that hard, as long as NetEase doesn't make any questionable decisions that may enrage them.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Marvel-Rivals-Wallpaper-with-Venom-Spider-Man-Scarlet-Witch-and-Magneto.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975685"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/961"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=975685"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":975734,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975685\/revisions\/975734"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/975717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=975685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=975685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=975685"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=975685"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=975685"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=975685"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=975685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
