Exciting news for Marvel Rivals fans! As the game progresses into the second half of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, NetEase is set to introduce two iconic members of the Fantastic Four: Human Torch and The Thing. Mark your calendars for February 21, 2025, when these Super Heroes will make their grand entrance into the game, completing the Fantastic Four lineup.

Human Torch will join the roster as a Duelist, while The Thing will take on the role of a Vanguard. Their arrival is not just about expanding the character selection; it's also about shaking up the gameplay dynamics. NetEase has hinted at major balance adjustments that will accompany these new characters, promising to "shake up the battlefield" during the second half of the season. While specific details on these balance changes are still under wraps, players can expect some heroes to be buffed or nerfed to accommodate the new dynamics introduced by Human Torch and The Thing.

In addition to the new characters, Marvel Rivals will undergo a rank reset during the second half of Season 1. This reset offers all players a fresh start to climb the ranks and compete for glory in the game's competitive scene.

For those who have been following the season, you might recall that Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman debuted earlier in the first half of Season 1 as a Duelist and a Strategist, respectively. The season also introduced three new maps, special events, and a thrilling new game mode called Doom Match.

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals spans three months and is split into two halves, with each half bringing a new hero to the fray. The current season's narrative revolves around a vampire-themed storyline, with Count Vlad Dracula as the main antagonist. This season not only adds to the vampire saga but also celebrates the inclusion of Marvel's first family, the Fantastic Four, marking a significant milestone in the game's universe.
