NetEase
NetEase, the developer of Marvel Rivals, has announced plans to introduce a combat behavior detection system to address players exploiting the hero proficiency update by staying AFK in matches. This follows the launch of Season 6 last week, which added Deadpool and reworked the proficiency system, inadvertently encouraging 'lord farming' for cosmetics. Penalties could include warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans.

NetEase has revealed Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play 6v6 multiplayer hero shooter set in the Marvel Universe. The game features over a dozen characters from Avengers, X-Men, and Guardians, with unique team-up skills for synergies. An alpha playtest is scheduled for this May, allowing players to try it early.
Bad Brain Game Studios, founded by former Ubisoft developers, will shut down on November 17 due to funding issues after NetEase Games withdrew support. The studio's upcoming project, Midnight Riders, remains available for acquisition or partnership. This closure highlights ongoing challenges in Western game development tied to NetEase's recent pullback.
