Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic Leads the Fantastic Four Debut
Marvel Rivals' Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, will feature the debut of Mister Fantastic, facing off against Dracula. This initial glimpse of Mister Fantastic's gameplay showcases his intellect-driven combat style.
The entire Fantastic Four will arrive in Season 1, though not simultaneously. The Invisible Woman will join Mister Fantastic at the season's launch, with Human Torch and The Thing anticipated to follow approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games plans substantial mid-season updates for each of the roughly three-month seasons.
Gameplay footage reveals Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He stretches to attack, slams enemies together, and inflates his body for powerful blows reminiscent of the Hulk. His ultimate ability involves repeated powerful jumps and slams onto the enemy team, similar to The Winter Soldier's attacks. Speculation suggests a potential seasonal bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's arrival.
Further Fantastic Four Insights
While details on the other Fantastic Four members remain scarce, leaked information hints at Human Torch's abilities. He'll reportedly create flame walls for battlefield control and team with Storm to generate devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, but his abilities are currently unknown.
Previous rumors suggested Blade and Ultron's inclusion, but NetEase has confirmed the Fantastic Four as the sole Season 1 additions. Ultron's anticipated arrival has likely shifted to Season 2 or later, surprising some players who expected him in the initial roster. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's presence, is another unexpected element. Despite these surprises, the upcoming content has generated significant player excitement for Marvel Rivals' future.
