Marvel Rivals Will Have Cross-Play, but Cross-Progression is Undecided

Competition is fierce in the multiplayer space, to say the very least, but thanks to the license it’s carrying as well as how promising it’s looked thus far, the upcoming Marvel Rivals seems to be in a solid position to make a strong impression whenever it releases. Ahead of its release, developer NetEase Games has also provided some further details on some of its multiplayer features.

More specifically, speaking in a recent interview with Wccftech, game director Thad Sasser confirmed that though cross-platform multiplayer will be supported, there’s less clarity right now on whether the same can be said about cross-progression. As per Sasser, the development team is aware of the demand for the feature, but implementing it is easier said than done.

“To be decided,” Sasser said when asked about whether Marvel Rivals will support cross-progression. “As you can imagine, that’s extremely complicated to pull off, so we’re still looking into it. We’ve heard that the audience has already suggested this several times, so we’re looking into it.”

Marvel Rivals is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game doesn’t yet have a release date, but it will get a closed beta in July.
