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 highly intelligent hero will be a key player in the unfolding narrative against Dracula.
The Fantastic Four's arrival is confirmed for Season 1, although not all members will debut simultaneously. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will be available at the season's launch, with Human Torch and The Thing expected to join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase plans substantial mid-season updates for each three-month season.
Gameplay footage showcases Mister Fantastic's unique abilities. He utilizes his elastic powers for powerful punches, can grapple multiple opponents, and inflates his physique for devastating blows reminiscent of the Hulk. His ultimate ability involves repeated aerial slams, echoing The Winter Soldier's combat style. While speculation exists about a potential Season 1 bonus tied to the Fantastic Four, this remains unconfirmed.
Further Fantastic Four Insights: Leaks and Speculation
While details on the remaining Fantastic Four members are scarce, leaked information suggests Human Torch's abilities will involve flame-based area control and the potential for devastating fire tornadoes in conjunction with Storm. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, but his abilities remain undisclosed.
Initial rumors suggested the inclusion of Blade and Ultron, but NetEase has clarified that the Fantastic Four will be the sole additions in Season 1. This contradicts earlier leaks suggesting Ultron's presence at launch, now believed to be delayed until Season 2 or later. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's inclusion, has also surprised some players.
Despite these surprises, the upcoming content has generated significant excitement among Marvel Rivals players, anticipating a thrilling future for the game.
