The Fantastic Four's roster in Marvel Rivals will be complete on February 21, 2025, with the arrival of The Thing and Human Torch as playable characters. This launch coincides with a Season 1.5 update, promising significant balance adjustments, as detailed in a recent developer blog post.
While specifics on their abilities remain under wraps, The Thing and Human Torch are expected to significantly impact the game's meta, much like Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman did upon their Season 1 debut. Their unique gameplay mechanics will undoubtedly shift the competitive landscape.
The Season 1.5 update also includes a rank reset for Ranked players. Expect a four-division demotion (e.g., Diamond I to Platinum II). Future full seasons will feature a six-division drop, while mid-season updates will maintain the four-division drop. NetEase plans to adjust this system as needed based on player feedback.
However, the update isn't all negative. Gold-ranked players will receive new costume rewards, and new Crests of Honor will recognize top performers (Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and One Above All – the top 500).
Creative director Guangyun Chen previously confirmed a new playable character every six weeks, suggesting a steady stream of new heroes. While speculation points towards Blade as the next addition, Marvel Rivals' future roster remains largely unannounced.
