We recently made the difficult decision to adjust Marvel Rivals' development team structure for organizational reasons and to optimize development efficiency for the game. This resulted in a reduction of a design team based in Seattle that is part of a larger global design function in support of Marvel Rivals. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of those affected and will be treating them confidentially and respectfully with recognition for their individual contributions. We want to reassure our fanbase that the core development team for Marvel Rivals, which continues to be led by Lead Producer Weicong Wu and Game Creative Director Guangyun Chen in Guangzhou, China, remains fully committed to delivering an exceptional experience. We are investing more, not less, into the evolution and growth of this game. We're excited to deliver new super hero characters, maps, features, and content to ensure an engaging live service experience for our worldwide player base.

DrTre @DrTreFilms ⚫ Feb 18 precisely why the games industry is f-----. a game as profitable and successful as Marvel Rivals isn't safe from layoffs... Wario64 @Wario64. Feb 18 Marvel Rivals director and team laid off according to posts resetera.com/threads/marvel... My stellar, talented team just helped deliver an incredibly successful new franchise in Marvel Rivals for NetEase Games.. and were just laid off! Oh well! Times are tough all over - Let's find these incredible people new jobs. because we all need to eat, right? :D Today I'm going to start with the inspiring Garry McGee! During the course of the project, Garry was fantastic to work with. This is a highly technical designer-currently working in level design, but I've seen his passion project! - who is a proactive problem solver. A lot of our time on the project was spent as sort of an "R & D" branch, coming up with new level design mechanics, gameplay mechanics, and so on. Garry was a key part of those efforts. His technical ability, proactivity, and passion for game development and problem-solving were a huge asset to the team. Garry doesn't wait for a problem to slow the team down; he finds a way around (or through!) it. Early in his time at our Seattle studio, he developed level design tools and gameplay mechanics..that I can't tell you about because they belong to NetEase, hah, but they greatly accelerated the team and often enabled the team's progress. On top of it, he's a nice person too! He holds some strong (wrong) opinions on video games, he's highly competitive (in a good way!), and he's got a lot of deep thoughts and philosophies on life, making him an excellent team member and the kind of guy you look forward to talking to every day. "Garry. I'm kidding about the wrong opinions. Don't come for me in the comments! Jack Burrows. 2nd Level Designer for Marvel Rivals, NetEase... 1h- ks! st got laid off from my job working on Marvel F tEase. enormous pleasure to work with my American ers who join me in this sad culling. uldn't dodge that big boot I guess, no matter ho cess of the gig. I'm seeking a new role and would appreciate y If you hear of any opportunities or just want to se send me a message or comment below. I'd ct. #OpenToWork #YaCantWinThem All
