Why This Under-the-Radar AAA Title Is More Than Just A Far Cry Clone<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On February 21, just a few days after NetEase laid off American devs working on Marvel Rivals<\/em><\/a><\/span>, the company published a short notice on the game\u2019s official website about Blitz, a third-party overlay plugin that provides PC players with extra information not normally available in-game. These types of plugins are prominent in many PC games like League of Legends<\/em> but are controversial as some online believe they give PC players an advantage in crossplay games like Fortnite <\/em>and Marvel Rivals<\/em><\/a><\/span>. And NetEase seems to agree, announcing on Friday<\/a><\/span> that it would no longer allow players to use Blitz. <\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, we\u2019ve seen the use of a third-party plugin known as Blitz,\u201d said NetEase. \u201cThis program injects itself into our game process, giving users confidential information like damage and healing statistics. It allows players to selectively ban heroes, predict opponents\u2019 ultimate abilities, and more, severely undermining the fairness of our game.\u201d<\/p>\n

NetEase further added: \u201cWe deem this program as cheating software and will no longer allow its use during gameplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

The studio behind Rivals <\/em>says players who might have been using Blitz over the last few days don\u2019t need to worry about being punished or penalized. But only if those players \u201crefrain from using [Blitz] in future games.\u201d So basically, consider this a warning. NetEase also \u201cstrongly\u201d urged players to avoid using any PC third-party add-ons, overlays, or plugins when playing Marvel Rivals <\/em>in order to \u201cuphold justice in our gaming universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to this, the company behind Blitz has \u201ctemporarily\u201d paused all of its Marvel Rivals<\/em> overlays<\/a><\/span> and says its \u201cworking on ways to come back stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n
