Marvel Rivals: Season 1, Part Two—Igniting the Battlefield

Human Torch and The Thing Arrive February 21, 2025

NetEase announced major updates for Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls on February 11, 2025. The biggest news? The arrival of Human Torch (Duelist) and The Thing (Vanguard) on February 21st! This completes the Fantastic Four lineup, adding even more strategic depth to the game.

Expect significant balance adjustments alongside these new characters. NetEase promises changes that will "shake up the battlefield," though specific details remain under wraps for now. Get ready for some buffed heroes and some… less fortunate ones.

Remember Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, who debuted earlier in Season 1? They’ll be joined by their fiery teammates, bringing a whole new level of Fantastic Four synergy to the game. Season 1 has already delivered three new maps, special events, and the exciting Doom Match mode.

Marvel Rivals seasons run for three months, split into two halves. Each half introduces a new hero, keeping the gameplay fresh and exciting. This season's vampire-themed storyline, featuring Count Dracula, now adds Marvel's First Family to the mix, expanding the roster and the narrative possibilities. Prepare for a thrilling second half!
