'Season 10 has been a challenging one for us': Marvel Rivals is upgrading Storm's summer skin after favouritism complaints

Season 10 of Marvel Rivals has proven to be a challenging season for the developers at NetEase. The issue of skin distribution and favouritism has been a recurring problem in many games with multiple heroes and clear favorites. Players have long complained about certain heroes receiving fewer costumes, leading to a backlash when it was revealed that Storm, a hugely popular character, was the only female hero without a legendary costume among the summer skins.

Creative director Guangyun Chen admitted in a dev diary that season 10 has been particularly challenging, as players were upset about only one hero being released this season and demanded more high-quality Legendary costumes with recolours and ultimate ability visual upgrades. In response, it has been decided to upgrade Storm's summer skin to legendary tier, with a release planned for around Christmas.

Other heroes such as the Human Torch and Cloak and Dagger will also receive visual upgrades. However, Chen emphasized that creating and changing skins is not an overnight process, with each costume taking eight to 10 months to produce from start to finish.
