Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman join the hero shooter at launch, while Human Torch and The Thing arrive in a substantial mid-season update.
NetEase Games offered a closer look at the Midtown map, likely featuring in Season 1's convoy mission. The video highlights the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower, bringing iconic locations to life.

A new Sanctum Sanctorum map, showcased in a separate video, will be used in the new Doom Match game mode.
Marvel Rivals Showcases New Midtown Map
Outdoor shots reveal a blood-red sky dominated by a blood moon. A closer inspection of a street shows a building seemingly belonging to Wilson Fisk—a first for the hero shooter. This follows a similar pattern seen in the Sanctum Sanctorum video, which featured a portrait of Wong. While possibly simple Easter eggs, these details have fueled speculation about future characters in Marvel Rivals.
The new maps have generated considerable excitement, but the addition of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman has proven particularly popular. Fans are especially enthusiastic about a new Strategist character, Invisible Woman's gameplay having been well-received. Mister Fantastic, perceived as a blend of Duelist and Vanguard roles, has also generated significant excitement. The abundance of new content has fueled considerable optimism for Marvel Rivals' future.
