Summary
Hero shooter gameMarvel Rivalscontinues a disappointing trend started byOverwatch 2where new achievements and trophies are not added alongside new characters.Marvel Rivalsrecently kicked off its first season of new content, which notably added two new heroes to the game’s already impressive roster.
Season 0 ofMarvel Rivalsfeatured 33 playable characters, with Season 1 bumping the total up to 35 with the addition of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, two representations of the famousFantastic Four group. Later in the season,Marvel Rivalsfans can expect Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, and The Human Torch to join their fellow Fantastic Four teammates. Unfortunately, when The Thing and The Human Torch are added toMarvel Rivals, it doesn’t seem likely that new Xbox achievements or PlayStation trophies will be coming with them.
While there are manyMarvel Rivalsplayers who simply do not care about achievements or trophies, there are also many achievement and trophy hunters that will no doubt be disappointed by this revelation. To its credit, Blizzard’sOverwatchconsistently added new achievements and trophies for players to unlock whenever new heroes were added to its roster for years, all the way untilSeason 6 and Illari’s debut. It’s unclear why Blizzard stopped adding new achievements/trophies for the newOverwatch 2heroes, but it’s disappointing to see the trend continue inOW2competitorMarvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals Didn’t Add Any New Achievements or Trophies in Season 1
Achievement and trophy hunters may be bummed out that Reed Richards andSue Stormdon’t have their own Xbox achievements or PlayStation trophies, but the good news is that they still have their own in-game challenges to complete. This way, players are still given plenty of incentive to take a break from their mains and try out the new heroes, especially if they are players that already primarily play Duelist and Strategist classes and are looking for something fresh.
It’s always possible NetEase Games will add achievements/trophies for Mister Fantastic and The Invisible Woman in future updates, though no plans to that effect have been announced. Considering this, achievement and trophy hunters shouldn’t hold their breath that futureMarvel Rivalsheroes will have them either. This is a bummer for sure, but on the bright side, there will still be plenty of things to do in-game to keep players engaged for the long-term. After all, more content is on the way for Season 1, and plenty offutureMarvel Rivalsheroes have already leaked online, indicating a bright future for the hero shooter.
