The developers highlighted their commitment to community feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (specifically ranged characters like Hawkeye) and promising adjustments in the first half of Season 1. While a PvE mode has been rumored, it wasn't addressed in this update. The addition of new maps and a fresh game mode promises a significant shift in gameplay, keeping the Marvel Rivals experience fresh and engaging.
