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, bringing with it the highly anticipated debut of Mister Fantastic. This initial gameplay reveal showcases Mister Fantastic utilizing his intellect and incredible elasticity in a battle against Dracula.
The Fantastic Four will be fully represented in Season 1, although not all at once. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will be available at launch, with the Human Torch and The Thing expected to join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later.
NetEase Games has confirmed a three-month season structure, with significant updates planned for the mid-point of each season. This ensures a steady stream of fresh content for players.
Mister Fantastic's Gameplay: A First Look
The released trailer highlights Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He uses his elastic powers for powerful punches, grabbing and slamming multiple opponents, and even inflating his physique for devastating blows. His ultimate ability involves repeated powerful slams onto the enemy team, reminiscent of The Winter Soldier. Speculation abounds about a potential Season 1 bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's arrival.
Leaked Information and Future Characters
While official details on the remaining Fantastic Four members are scarce, leaked information suggests Human Torch will control the battlefield with flame walls and collaborate with Storm to create devastating fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, but his abilities remain undisclosed.
Initial rumors suggested Blade and Ultron's inclusion, but NetEase Games has confirmed that the Fantastic Four will be the sole additions in Season 1. This suggests a potential delay for Ultron to Season 2 or later, surprising many given the initial leaker speculation. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's presence, has also generated considerable discussion among players.
The anticipation for Season 1 is high, with the promise of new characters and gameplay updates keeping players engaged and excited about the future of Marvel Rivals.
