Marvel Unleashes Explosive Mister Fantastic Gameplay

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mister Fantastic and the Fantastic Four Arrive

Marvel Rivals is gearing up for its Season 1 launch, "Eternal Night Falls," on January 10th at 1 AM PST, introducing Mister Fantastic in a showdown against Dracula. This initial gameplay reveal showcases Mister Fantastic's intellect-driven combat style, utilizing his elastic powers in creative and powerful ways. He stretches, grabs, and slams opponents, even adopting a Hulk-like muscular form for devastating attacks. His ultimate ability involves a repeated aerial slam attack reminiscent of The Winter Soldier.

The full Fantastic Four will debut throughout Season 1, though not simultaneously. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman will launch alongside Season 1, with Human Torch and The Thing expected to follow approximately six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games plans to release significant updates midway through each three-month season.

Leaked information suggests potential abilities for the remaining Fantastic Four members. Human Torch's kit reportedly includes flame walls for battlefield control and a devastating fire tornado combination with Storm. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard class character, though specifics remain unknown.

While speculation previously included characters like Blade and Ultron, NetEase Games has confirmed that only the Fantastic Four will debut in Season 1. The absence of Blade, considering Dracula's presence, and the delay of Ultron to a later season, have surprised some fans. Despite these surprises, anticipation for Season 1 and the future of Marvel Rivals remains high.

The game's three-month season structure, with mid-season updates, promises a steady stream of new content. The potential for future characters and gameplay enhancements keeps players engaged and excited for what's to come.
