Will There Be a Rank Reset in Marvel Rivals Season 2.5?
Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 will not feature a rank reset. Following the significant 9-division rank reset that accompanied Season 2.0 in April 2025, has been confirmed that players will retain their current ranks as Season 2.5 goes live. This means you won’t have to climb the ladder from scratch or complete new placement matches.
The next anticipated rank reset is expected with the launch of Season 3, tentatively scheduled for July 11, 2025, coinciding with the end of the current Season 2 battle pass. This aligns with previous seasonal patterns where major resets occur at the start of new full seasons rather than mid-season updates.
