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 first season will also mark the debut of the entire Fantastic Four, though not all at once.
Mister Fantastic's gameplay has been revealed, showcasing his intellect-driven combat style. He utilizes his elastic abilities to pummel foes, even combining attacks to devastating effect. His ultimate ability involves a powerful, repeated aerial assault. While the Invisible Woman will join him at the season's start, the 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.
Fantastic Four Abilities (Leaks and Speculation):
While official details on the remaining Fantastic Four members are scarce, leaks suggest the Human Torch will control the battlefield with fire walls and collaborate with Storm to create devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard-class character, though his abilities remain undisclosed.
Season 1 Roster and Future Characters:
NetEase Games has confirmed that the Fantastic Four will be the only new characters in Season 1, dispelling earlier speculation about the inclusion of Blade and Ultron at launch. Ultron's arrival is now expected in Season 2 or later. The absence of Blade, a natural counter to Dracula, has surprised some players.
Despite this, the anticipation for Season 1 and the upcoming content is high among Marvel Rivals players.
