NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating immense excitement ahead of its Season 1 update. Many players are eager to gain early access. While the initial Creator Community application window for Season 1 access has likely closed, here's how to potentially participate in future early access opportunities:
The buzz surrounding Marvel Rivals' Season 1 stems from the steady stream of online reveals. Developers are showcasing new content through numerous videos on the game's official social media. However, early access provided to select streamers has left many players wanting more. Fortunately, there's a path to future early access.
Early access to Marvel Rivals Season 1 was granted to members of the game's Creator Community. This group consists of players who successfully applied for early access to updates and exclusive information. While it may seem exclusive, anyone can apply. The process involves:
- Visiting the Creator Hub on the official Marvel Rivals website.
- Completing the application form found at the bottom of the page.
- Awaiting a response from NetEase Games.
It's crucial to note that while the application doesn't explicitly require follower counts or channel statistics, NetEase will likely identify applicants creating accounts solely for early access. New creators might consider waiting before applying.
