Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic Leads the Charge Against Dracula
Marvel Rivals is gearing up for its Season 1 launch, "Eternal Night Falls," on January 10th at 1 AM PST, and NetEase Games has unveiled a sneak peek at Mister Fantastic's gameplay. The intellectually gifted hero will be a key player in the upcoming storyline against Dracula.
The Fantastic Four's arrival is confirmed for Season 1, though not all at once. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will debut with the season launch, with Human Torch and The Thing expected to join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games plans to release substantial updates mid-season, with each season lasting roughly three months.
Gameplay footage showcases Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He utilizes his elastic powers for powerful punches, combining foes with impressive stretches, and even inflating his physique for devastating blows. His ultimate ability involves a repeated aerial slam attack, reminiscent of The Winter Soldier's style. Speculation exists regarding a potential Season 1 bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's release, but this remains unconfirmed.
Leaked Information Hints at Future Fantastic Four Abilities
While details on the remaining Fantastic Four members are scarce, leaked information suggests Human Torch's abilities will involve flame walls for battlefield control and the potential for devastating fire tornadoes in conjunction with Storm. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, but his abilities remain undisclosed.
Initial speculation pointed towards Blade and Ultron's inclusion in the initial roster, but 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. The absence of Blade, a notable Dracula adversary, has also surprised some players.
Despite the unanswered questions, the anticipation for Marvel Rivals' Season 1 is high, fueled by the promise of new content and exciting gameplay mechanics. The strategic addition of the Fantastic Four, along with the intriguing hints about future characters, promises a compelling and evolving gaming experience.
