Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic's Debut and Fantastic Four Arrival
Marvel Rivals' Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, will feature the debut of Mister Fantastic, battling Dracula. This initial glimpse of Mister Fantastic's gameplay showcases his intellect-driven combat style, utilizing his elastic abilities for powerful attacks.
The full Fantastic Four will join the roster during Season 1, although not simultaneously. Following Mister Fantastic's arrival, the Invisible Woman will also debut at the season's start. Human Torch and The Thing are anticipated to arrive approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games plans to release significant updates midway through each three-month season.
Gameplay footage reveals Mister Fantastic's diverse abilities: stretching to punch opponents, simultaneously grabbing and slamming enemies, and inflating his body for enhanced strength. His ultimate move involves repeated powerful slams, reminiscent of The Winter Soldier's attacks. Speculation exists regarding a potential Seasonal Bonus for The Fantastic Four, though this remains unconfirmed.
Marvel Rivals: A Look at Other Fantastic Four Members
While details on the other Fantastic Four members are scarce, leaked information suggests Human Torch's abilities will involve flame walls for battlefield control and collaborative fire tornadoes with Storm. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, but his abilities remain undisclosed.
Future Prospects for Marvel Rivals
Initial rumors suggested Blade and Ultron would be early additions, but NetEase Games has clarified that only the Fantastic Four will debut in Season 1. This confirms a delay for Ultron, likely to Season 2 or later. The absence of Blade, a natural counter to Dracula, has also surprised some players. Despite these surprises, the anticipation for Season 1 and the upcoming content remains high among players.
