With the launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has excitingly introduced members of The Fantastic Four to the game, but not the entire team yet. If you're eager to know when The Thing and Human Torch will make their grand entrance into *Marvel Rivals*, 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 join *Marvel Rivals* on either Feb. 21 or Feb. 28. Season 1 kicked off on Jan. 10, and NetEase has confirmed that these two iconic characters will be introduced approximately six to seven weeks after the season's start. This timeline points to their addition on either the 21st or the 28th.
The first half of Season 1 has already enriched the game with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Mister Fantastic brings a dynamic duelist experience to the battlefield, while Invisible Woman offers strategic gameplay that demands a bit more finesse. It's expected that The Thing will take on a vanguard role, and Human Torch will likely serve as a duelist, adding fresh dynamics to your playstyle when they're finally added.
Alongside new heroes, Season 1 has also introduced new maps, game modes, events, and a new Battle Pass packed with a variety of cosmetics for players to earn. Whether you opt for the Luxury track of the Battle Pass to unlock exclusive skins or stick to the free track, there's plenty to grind for.
Looking ahead, it wouldn't be surprising if the second half of Season 1 brings even more content related to The Thing and Human Torch, such as additional maps and game modes, enhancing the overall experience even further.
