NetEase Games' free-to-play game Marvel Rivals is getting a hugely requested feature in the coming weeks with the arrival of cross-progression.
Creative Director Guangguang confirmed on Tuesday that cross-progression has been a "top priority" for the team, and that it has been "frantically cooking in development" until now. While cross-progression is now ready, the developers want to ensure that it launches smoothly.
In order to make sure nothing goes wrong, a handful of players are being invited to test cross-progression with the launch of Season 4.5 on October 10. If things go according to plan, cross-progression will then be rolled out to everybody with Season 5.
Guangguang explains that player ranks and leaderboards will remain separate by platform. To use cross-progression, players will go to Settings, then Other, then Account Linking, and choose a primary account.
This main account can be changed, but there'll be a (yet-undisclosed) cooldown period between changes.
