Marvel Rivals is set to launch Season 1: Eternal Night Falls on January 10th at 1 AM PST, introducing Mister Fantastic as a playable character. His intellect will be key in the fight against Dracula, setting the stage for an exciting storyline.

The Fantastic Four's Arrival: A Staggered Debut

While the entire Fantastic Four will debut in Season 1, their releases will be staggered. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will be available at launch, with Human Torch and The Thing expected to follow approximately six to seven weeks later.

Season Structure and Updates

NetEase Games has confirmed that each season will run approximately three months, with a significant update planned for the middle of each season. This ensures a steady stream of new content and gameplay experiences.

Mister Fantastic's Gameplay Revealed

A recent gameplay trailer showcases Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He utilizes his elastic powers for devastating attacks, including grabbing and slamming multiple enemies simultaneously. His ultimate ability involves a powerful aerial assault, reminiscent of The Winter Soldier. Speculation exists regarding a potential Seasonal Bonus tied to The Fantastic Four's introduction.

Leaked Information on Other Fantastic Four Members

While official details are scarce, leaked information suggests Human Torch's abilities will revolve around flame manipulation, including creating fire walls and collaborating with Storm to generate fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, though his abilities remain undisclosed.

Future Characters and Season 2 Speculation

Initial rumors suggested characters like Blade and Ultron would be part of the launch roster. However, NetEase Games has clarified that the Fantastic Four will be the sole additions in Season 1. This suggests Ultron's arrival may be delayed until Season 2 or later, surprising some players given Dracula's presence. The absence of Blade, a known Dracula adversary, is also noteworthy. Despite these surprises, the anticipation for Marvel Rivals' future remains high.
