With the launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has finally introduced The Fantastic Four, though not the entire team just yet. If you're eager to find out when The Thing and Human Torch will join the roster, here's the latest scoop.
Marvel Rivals: The Thing and Human Torch Estimated Release Date
It's highly anticipated that The Thing and Human Torch will make their debut in *Marvel Rivals* on either February 21 or February 28. Season 1 kicked off on January 10, and given NetEase's announcement that these characters would be released approximately six to seven weeks after the season's start, we can pinpoint their arrival to these dates.
The initial phase of Season 1 brought Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman into the game. Mister Fantastic offers a thrilling duelist experience, whereas Invisible Woman demands a strategic approach, showcasing her finesse. As for The Thing and Human Torch, they are expected to take on the roles of vanguard and duelist, respectively, enhancing the gameplay dynamics when they join.
Alongside new characters, Season 1 has enriched the game with new maps, game modes, events, and a new Battle Pass loaded with cosmetics for players to unlock. You can opt for the Luxury track of the Battle Pass for exclusive skins, but the free track also offers plenty of rewards to grind for.
It wouldn't be surprising if the latter part of Season 1 introduces additional maps and game modes tailored to The Thing and Human Torch, further expanding the *Marvel Rivals* experience.
