Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic and the Fantastic Four Arrive

Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, will feature the debut of Mister Fantastic, battling Dracula. This initial look at gameplay showcases his intellect-driven combat style, utilizing stretchy limbs for powerful attacks.

The entire Fantastic Four will appear in Season 1, but not simultaneously. The Invisible Woman will join Mister Fantastic at the season's start, while Human Torch and The Thing are anticipated to arrive approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games plans substantial mid-season updates for each three-month season.

Gameplay footage reveals Mister Fantastic's versatile abilities: stretching attacks, body inflation for enhanced strength, and a powerful area-of-effect ultimate. Speculation exists regarding a potential Season 1 bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's arrival.

Leaked information suggests Human Torch's abilities will include flame walls for battlefield control and collaborative fire tornadoes with Storm. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard-class character, though his abilities remain undisclosed.

While rumors circulated about Blade and Ultron's inclusion, NetEase Games confirmed the Fantastic Four as Season 1's only new characters. This suggests Ultron's release may be delayed to Season 2 or later, surprising some players who anticipated his presence at launch. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's inclusion, is another point of interest for fans. Despite these unanswered questions, the upcoming content has generated significant excitement within the Marvel Rivals community.
