Marvel Rivals: When Are The Thing and Human Torch Arriving?
NetEase's Marvel Rivals Season 1 finally introduced the Fantastic Four, but with a twist – only Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman initially joined the roster. Many players are eager to know when the remaining members, The Thing and Human Torch, will become playable.
Estimated Release Date for The Thing and Human Torch
A release date of February 21st or 28th is highly probable. Season 1 launched on January 10th, and NetEase has indicated a six to seven-week timeframe for the arrival of The Thing and Human Torch. This places their anticipated release within those dates.
Expected Roles and Gameplay
Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman established distinct play styles: Mister Fantastic as a duelist and Invisible Woman as a strategist. It's likely The Thing and Human Torch will fill complementary roles, possibly as a vanguard and another duelist, respectively, once added to the game.
Season 1 Content Beyond the Fantastic Four
Season 1 also introduced new maps, game modes, events, and a Battle Pass offering various cosmetic rewards. Players can purchase the premium Battle Pass track for additional skins, but the free track also provides unlockable content. Further map and game mode additions related to The Thing and Human Torch are anticipated in the second half of Season 1.
