Another fan echoed this sentiment, suggesting that NetEase’s upcoming shooter is “the best thing to happen to Overwatch,” forcing Blizzard to step up its game.
Popular Twitch streamer Christopher ‘Jay3’ Pavloff tweeted that the most exciting aspect of Blizzard’s resurgence “is that Marvel Rivals will likely observe these shifts and strive to innovate further.” This dynamic creates a “virtuous cycle of constant updates and refinements” that ultimately rewards the player bases of both franchises.
Game Director Aaron Keller embraced the rivalry months ago, though he clarified that the recent influx of content isn’t merely a knee-jerk reaction. He emphasized that these extensive overhauls had been in development long before Marvel Rivals gained significant traction as a viable competitor.
Keller had previously hinted at this aggressive strategy in late 2025, describing a vision for a “less conservative” future focused on “high-octane moments” designed to captivate players, promising that 2026 would begin with a major industry splash.
