Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic and the Fantastic Four Arrive
Marvel Rivals is gearing up for its Season 1 launch, "Eternal Night Falls," on January 10th at 1 AM PST. The season will introduce the highly anticipated Mister Fantastic, facing off against Dracula. This initial gameplay reveal showcases Mister Fantastic's unique intellect-based combat style, utilizing his elastic abilities in creative and powerful ways. He's shown stretching to punch opponents, slamming enemies together, and unleashing a powerful area-of-effect ultimate.
The full Fantastic Four will debut throughout Season 1, although not simultaneously. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will be available at the season's launch, with Human Torch and The Thing expected to follow approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games plans to release substantial updates midway through each three-month season.
Leaked information suggests intriguing abilities for the remaining Fantastic Four members. Human Torch's kit reportedly includes flame walls for battlefield control and a devastating fire tornado collaboration with Storm. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, though details regarding his abilities remain undisclosed.
While speculation about future characters like Blade and Ultron has circulated, NetEase Games has confirmed that the Fantastic Four will be the sole additions to the roster in Season 1. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's presence, and the delay of Ultron to a later season, have surprised some players. Despite these surprises, the upcoming content has generated significant excitement within the Marvel Rivals community.
