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, and NetEase Games has unveiled a first look at Mister Fantastic in action. He'll be utilizing his intellect and stretchy powers to combat Dracula in the game's unfolding narrative.
The arrival of Mister Fantastic marks the beginning of the Fantastic Four's introduction to the game. While Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will debut with Season 1, Human Torch and The Thing are anticipated to join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later.
NetEase Games has confirmed a three-month season structure, with significant updates planned for the mid-point of each season. A gameplay trailer showcases Mister Fantastic's abilities, including stretching attacks, a powerful muscular transformation, and a devastating ultimate move reminiscent of The Winter Soldier. Speculation exists regarding a potential Season 1 bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's launch.
Leaked information suggests the Human Torch's abilities will involve flame-based area control and synergy with Storm for devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard-class character, though his abilities remain undisclosed.
While rumors circulated about Blade and Ultron's inclusion, NetEase Games has confirmed the Fantastic Four as the sole Season 1 additions. This suggests a potential delay for Ultron to Season 2 or later, surprising some players given Dracula's presence. The absence of Blade, a known Dracula adversary, has also generated discussion amongst the fanbase. The upcoming content has generated significant excitement within the Marvel Rivals community.
