With the exciting launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has brought members of The Fantastic Four into the game, albeit not the entire team just yet. If you're eager to know when The Thing and Human Torch will join the action, here's what you should keep an eye on.
It's highly anticipated that The Thing and Human Torch will become playable in *Marvel Rivals* on either February 21st or February 28th. Season 1 kicked off on January 10th, and since NetEase has confirmed a release window of six to seven weeks after the start of the season, these dates are the most likely.
During the first half of Season 1, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman were added to the roster, offering unique playstyles. Mister Fantastic serves as an engaging duelist, while Invisible Woman demands strategic gameplay. It's expected that The Thing will take on the role of a vanguard, and Human Torch will likely be another duelist, enhancing the diversity of the game's character lineup.
Alongside the new characters, Season 1 has also introduced new maps, game modes, events, and a fresh Battle Pass filled with enticing cosmetics. Whether you opt for the Luxury track to unlock exclusive skins or stick to the free track, there's plenty to grind for.
Given the trend, it wouldn't be surprising if the second half of Season 1 brings even more content, including additional maps and game modes that complement The Thing and Human Torch's arrival.
That's all the current information on when you can expect The Thing and Human Torch in *Marvel Rivals*. For more tips, insights, and details on game mechanics like SVP, Ace, and the rank reset system, be sure to visit The Escapist.
