Get ready for the complete Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals! The Thing and Human Torch join the playable roster on February 21, 2025.
This exciting addition coincides with the Season 1.5 update, promising significant balance adjustments, as hinted at in a recent developer blog post. While specific details remain under wraps, expect major gameplay shifts. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, introduced earlier in Season 1, significantly altered the game's meta with their unique abilities. The Thing and Human Torch are sure to have a similar impact. Hopefully, NetEase will showcase their abilities soon.
The Season 1.5 update also includes a rank reset for Ranked players. On February 21st, expect a four-division drop. Future season updates will feature a six-division drop, and mid-season updates will result in a four-division drop. NetEase plans to adjust this system as needed based on player feedback.
Competitive players in the Gold rank can anticipate new costume rewards. Furthermore, new Crests of Honor will recognize top performers in Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and One Above All (top 500) ranks.
Creative director Guangyun Chen previously committed to releasing a new playable character every six weeks. While speculation points towards Blade as the next addition, the future of Marvel Rivals beyond the Fantastic Four remains intriguing.
