Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic Takes Center Stage Against Dracula

Marvel Rivals' Season 1, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, will feature the debut of Mister Fantastic, battling Dracula using his incredible intellect and powers. This marks the beginning of the Fantastic Four's introduction into the game, with the Invisible Woman joining him at launch.

NetEase Games has unveiled gameplay footage showcasing Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He utilizes his elastic powers for powerful punches, combining foes with his stretches, and even inflating his physique for devastating blows reminiscent of the Hulk. His ultimate ability involves a repeated slam attack similar to the Winter Soldier's. While speculation exists about a potential Season 1 bonus for the Fantastic Four, this remains unconfirmed.

The full Fantastic Four will debut in Season 1, but staggered. Human Torch and The Thing are anticipated to arrive approximately six to seven weeks after the initial launch. NetEase Games plans substantial mid-season updates for each three-month season.

Leaked information suggests Human Torch's abilities will include 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, though his abilities remain undisclosed.

Initial speculation surrounding the inclusion of Blade and Ultron has been clarified. NetEase Games confirmed the Fantastic Four as the sole Season 1 additions, delaying characters like Ultron to future seasons. The absence of Blade, a notable Dracula adversary, has also surprised some players.

Despite some initial surprises and speculation, the upcoming content has generated significant player enthusiasm for Marvel Rivals' future.
