Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic Faces Dracula, Fantastic Four Debut Imminent
Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, will feature Mister Fantastic's debut, pitting his intellect against Dracula. This marks the beginning of the Fantastic Four's arrival in the game, with Invisible Woman joining the fray alongside him at launch.
Initial gameplay footage showcases Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He uses his elastic powers for powerful punches, grabbing and slamming opponents, and unleashing a devastating ultimate move reminiscent of The Winter Soldier. While speculation exists regarding a potential seasonal bonus for the Fantastic Four, this remains unconfirmed.
Human Torch and The Thing are slated to join the roster within six to seven weeks of the season's start. NetEase Games plans to release significant updates midway through each three-month season.
Leaked information suggests Human Torch will control the battlefield with flame walls and create fire tornadoes with Storm. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, though his abilities are currently unknown.
Despite previous rumors, the developers have confirmed that the Fantastic Four will be the sole new characters in Season 1. This contradicts earlier speculation about Blade and Ultron's inclusion, with Ultron likely postponed until Season 2 or later. The absence of Blade, a natural counter to Dracula, has also surprised some players. Nevertheless, the anticipation surrounding Season 1's launch and future content remains high.
