Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic Takes Center Stage 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 iconic Fantastic Four member will use his intellect and stretchy powers to combat Dracula in the game's unfolding storyline.
The entire Fantastic Four will debut in Season 1, although not all at once. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will arrive 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 significant updates midway through each three-month season.
Gameplay footage showcases Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He stretches his limbs to deliver powerful punches, grabs and slams multiple opponents, and inflates his body for devastating blows reminiscent of the Hulk. His ultimate ability involves repeated, impactful slams onto the enemy team, similar to The Winter Soldier's attacks. Speculation suggests a potential seasonal bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's arrival.
Further Fantastic Four Insights: Leaks and Speculation
While official details on the remaining Fantastic Four members are scarce, leaked information hints at Human Torch's abilities. He'll reportedly control the battlefield with flame walls and team up with Storm to unleash deadly fire tornadoes. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, but his abilities remain undisclosed.
Initial rumors suggested Blade and Ultron as potential early additions, but NetEase Games confirmed that only the Fantastic Four will debut in Season 1. This suggests a delay for Ultron, possibly to Season 2 or later. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's presence, has also surprised some players. Despite these surprises, the upcoming content has generated considerable excitement among Marvel Rivals fans.
