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, introducing Mister Fantastic in a showdown against Dracula. This initial gameplay reveal showcases Mister Fantastic's intellect-driven combat style, utilizing his elastic abilities in creative and powerful ways.
The Fantastic Four will debut throughout Season 1, a staggered rollout beginning with Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman at the season's start. Human Torch and The Thing are anticipated to join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games has confirmed that each three-month season will feature a significant mid-season update.
Gameplay footage highlights Mister Fantastic's versatile abilities. He stretches to deliver powerful punches, grabs multiple opponents for devastating slams, and inflates his body for enhanced strength. His ultimate ability involves repeated powerful slams onto the enemy team. While speculation exists regarding a potential Season 1 bonus for the Fantastic Four, this remains unconfirmed.
Leaked information offers a glimpse into the potential abilities of other Fantastic Four members. Human Torch's kit allegedly includes flame walls for battlefield control and a devastating fire tornado combo with Storm. 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 that the Fantastic Four will be the sole character additions in Season 1. This suggests a potential delay for Ultron and Blade to Season 2 or later, surprising some players given Dracula's presence and Blade's history as his nemesis. The anticipation for Season 1's content release is high among players.
