Marvel Rivals: Thing & Human Torch Release Date Revealed

With the launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has thrilled fans by introducing members of The Fantastic Four into the game, although not all at once. If you're eager to know when The Thing and Human Torch will make their grand entrance, here's everything you need to know.

Marvel Rivals The Thing and Human Torch Estimated Release Date

It's highly anticipated that The Thing and Human Torch will join *Marvel Rivals* on either Feb. 21 or Feb. 28. Season 1 kicked off on Jan. 10, and since NetEase has confirmed that these two characters will be released approximately six to seven weeks after the season's start, we can expect them to be added to the game on one of these dates.

The initial phase of Season 1 brought Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman into the roster. Mister Fantastic offers a dynamic duelist experience, whereas Invisible Woman plays more as a strategic character, requiring a nuanced approach. It’s likely that The Thing will take on the role of a vanguard, while Human Torch will fit into the duelist category, adding even more diversity to the game's character lineup.

Alongside these characters, Season 1 introduced new maps, game modes, events, and a fresh Battle Pass filled with an array of new cosmetics for players to unlock. Whether you opt for the Luxury track of the Battle Pass, which grants access to exclusive skins, or stick to the free track for other rewards, there's plenty to grind for.

As we move into the second half of Season 1, it wouldn't be surprising to see additional maps and game modes that tie in with The Thing and Human Torch, further enhancing the gameplay experience.
