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, bringing with it the highly anticipated debut of Mister Fantastic. This initial gameplay reveal showcases Mister Fantastic utilizing his intellect and incredible elasticity in a showdown against Dracula.
The full Fantastic Four will join the roster throughout Season 1, though not simultaneously. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will be available at the season's start, 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.
Gameplay footage highlights Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He stretches to deliver powerful punches, grabs multiple enemies for devastating slams, and inflates his body for enhanced strength. His ultimate ability involves repeated powerful slams onto the opposing team, reminiscent of The Winter Soldier's attacks. Speculation exists regarding a potential Season 1 bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's arrival.
Leaked information suggests Human Torch will control the battlefield with flame walls and collaborate with Storm for devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, but his abilities remain undisclosed.
While rumors circulated about Blade and Ultron's inclusion, NetEase Games confirmed that only the Fantastic Four will debut in Season 1. This suggests a potential delay for Ultron until Season 2 or later, surprising many given Dracula's presence. The absence of Blade, a natural adversary to Dracula, is also noteworthy. Despite these surprises, the upcoming content has generated significant excitement among players.
