Season 1 of Marvel Rivals has finally introduced the Fantastic Four—well, some of them. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are already causing a stir, but many players are eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Thing and Human Torch. So, when can we expect these two iconic heroes to join the fight?
Estimated Release Date for The Thing and Human Torch in Marvel Rivals
Based on NetEase's confirmation that The Thing and Human Torch will arrive six to seven weeks after the start of Season 1 (January 10th), we can confidently estimate their release date to be either February 21st or February 28th.
The first half of Season 1 introduced Mister Fantastic, a fun and engaging duelist, and Invisible Woman, a more strategic character requiring skillful play. It's likely The Thing and Human Torch will fill similar roles—perhaps The Thing as a vanguard and Human Torch as a duelist—adding exciting new gameplay dynamics.
Season 1 also brought a host of new content, including fresh maps, game modes, events, and a new Battle Pass brimming with cosmetic rewards. Players can opt for the Luxury track for premium skins or enjoy a solid selection of free unlocks.
We anticipate the second half of Season 1 will further expand the game's offerings, possibly with additional maps and game modes tailored to The Thing and Human Torch's unique abilities.
