NetEase has confirmed layoffs affecting the development team behind Marvel Rivals, specifically reducing the design team based in Seattle for organizational reasons. The company emphasized its commitment to treating impacted employees with confidentiality and respect. Despite the layoffs, NetEase stated that the core development team in China remains dedicated to enhancing the game, which has over 200,000 active players on Steam and reportedly generated an estimated million in its first month. Currently, there are no Seattle-based developers working on Marvel Rivals. The layoffs have raised questions given the game's financial success, and industry observers speculate this may be part of a broader strategy to streamline the development team.
