Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic and the Fantastic Four Arrive!
Marvel Rivals is set to launch Season 1: Eternal Night Falls on January 10th at 1 AM PST, bringing with it the debut of Mister Fantastic, who will use his intellect to battle Dracula. This marks the beginning of the Fantastic Four's introduction to the game, starting with the Invisible Woman, alongside Mister Fantastic at launch. Human Torch and The Thing are anticipated to join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later.
NetEase Games has unveiled gameplay footage showcasing Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He utilizes his elasticity for powerful punches, can grab and slam multiple opponents, and boasts a powerful ultimate ability involving repeated slams onto the enemy team. While speculation exists regarding a potential Season 1 bonus for the Fantastic Four, this remains unconfirmed.
Leaked Abilities and Future Characters
While details on the remaining Fantastic Four members are scarce, leaked information suggests Human Torch will control the battlefield with flame walls and team up with Storm for devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, although his abilities remain undisclosed.
Initial rumors suggested the inclusion of Blade and Ultron, but NetEase Games has confirmed that the Fantastic Four will be the sole additions in Season 1. This confirms the delay of Ultron to a later season, a surprise to many given earlier leaks. The absence of Blade, a natural adversary to Dracula, is also noteworthy.
NetEase Games plans to release significant updates midway through each three-month season, ensuring a steady stream of fresh content. With the Fantastic Four's arrival and the promise of future updates, Marvel Rivals is generating significant excitement among players.
