The inaugural significant update for Marvel Rivals heralds the first competitive reset, presenting players with a fresh opportunity to dive back into the action during Season 1.
This extensive Season 1 update introduces numerous enhancements, including new maps, extensive buffs and nerfs, and the highly anticipated Fantastic Four. Furthermore, significant adjustments have been made to the game’s competitive framework, most notably the introduction of the Celestial rank and the essential first ranked reset.
Upcoming Competitive Reset Details
Mark your calendars for Friday, January 10, 2025, as this date will coincide with the Marvel Rivals Season 1 update. These resets will occur at the conclusion of each season, with the next one anticipated to arrive with Season 2, projected around April 2025.
Understanding the Impact of the Ranked Reset
The initial competitive reset will systematically reduce your rank by seven divisions, reflecting your final standing at the close of Season 0. The following is a detailed overview of your new starting positions based on your prior placement:
- Grandmaster 1 and higher: Drops to Platinum 2
- Diamond 1: Drops to Gold 2
- Platinum 1: Drops to Silver 2
- Gold 1: Drops to Bronze 2
- Gold 2 and below: Drops to Bronze 3
While this adjustment may appear drastic—especially for those accustomed to Grandmaster status who may find themselves at Platinum or Gold—there is a silver lining. Season 1 is projected to last approximately three months, nearly doubling the duration of Season 0, allowing ample opportunity to reclaim your rank.
Additionally, Season 1 will introduce the new Celestial rank, positioned between Grandmaster and Eternity, featuring three divisions to conquer. This means there will be even more challenges ahead for those aspiring to achieve the game’s upper echelons.
Player Level Stability Amidst the Reset
Rest assured, your standard player level will remain untouched by the Competitive reset in Marvel Rivals Season 1. Your player level will be preserved as it was prior to the update, so you won’t face the inconvenience of having to grind back to level 10 just to access ranked matches again.
