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, and NetEase Games has unveiled exciting gameplay footage of Mister Fantastic battling Dracula. This marks the beginning of a thrilling storyline.
Mister Fantastic's debut showcases his intellect-driven combat style, utilizing his elastic abilities in creative ways. He stretches to punch opponents, slams enemies together, and even inflates his body for powerful blows. His ultimate ability involves a repeated slam attack reminiscent of The Winter Soldier.
The Fantastic Four's arrival in Season 1 is confirmed, although staggered. The Invisible Woman joins Mister Fantastic at launch, while Human Torch and The Thing are expected to follow within six to seven weeks. NetEase Games plans substantial mid-season updates for each three-month season.
Leaked information suggests Human Torch's abilities will involve flame walls and collaborative attacks with Storm to create devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, though his abilities remain undisclosed.
While speculation around characters like Blade and Ultron exists, NetEase Games confirms the Fantastic Four as Season 1's exclusive character additions. The initial expectation of Ultron's inclusion at launch appears to be incorrect, with his arrival likely postponed to Season 2 or later. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's presence, is also noteworthy.
Despite some unanswered questions, the upcoming content has generated significant player enthusiasm for Marvel Rivals' future. The game promises a dynamic and engaging experience with its unique character roster and regular updates.
