NetEase devs are back at it! By now, it’s a well-known fact that the devs listen to players’ requests, and sometimes even come through and fulfill them. Well, it seems that they are cooking up something the players have been asking for for a while. Reportedly, Marvel Rivals developers are working on a feature that will allow players to change the lobby background.
Marvel Rivals Will Have a “Change Background” Feature
One of the dedicated fan accounts and leakers, RivalsInfo, shared their findings on X. They explained how the upcoming feature might work, and even gave a couple of examples of what the players should expect.
They noted: “New Upcoming Look at the Lobby Feature ‘Change Background’. When this feature is active, you should be able to change your lobby background based on a selected skin. Still very work in progress, but that’s what i’ve been able to gather. Below are some screenshots of some of the UIs. As well as an actual in-game concept I made of what it could potentially look like in the lobby”.
As you may see below, this feature will provide the players with a more immersive experience, and it’s quite aesthetically pleasing. We can’t wait to see it in-game, but for now, there’s no ETA.
Players Appreciate This QoL Change
Obviously, many players were quite excited about this leak. More customization is always a good thing, and it allows players to add a personal touch to the game. Furthermore, the fact that the devs are listening to players’ requests is quite encouraging.
MadSandWorm noted: “Pretty solid QOL improvement for the game. The team behind Rivals is really great about making little adjustments like that. Hoping the backgrounds stay bundled with the character skins rather than becoming a separate transactional item. Don’t need another item to tempt my already starving wallet”.
While the majority of players have some concerns about having to pay for backgrounds, others encourage this system. One player, ghosststorm, stated: “They should also implement custom backgrounds that you can purchase from the store. The ones with cool landscapes/architecture from the Marvel world with special effects like lightning, thunder, rain, wind, etc, and sound effects. I think it would be really cool and give players more variation. Obviously good for their monetization. Simpler ones they can do as free rewards, battlepass filling (better than emblem sprays imo), or put them in character skin kits”.
We’ll have to wait and see, right? Hopefully, not too long! We’d love to see this feature in-game before Blade wakes up (it will take him a while). Of course, in the meantime, enjoy the game and see you out there.
