When Do The Thing & Human Torch Release in Marvel Rivals?

Marvel Rivals: When Are The Thing and Human Torch Arriving?

NetEase's Marvel Rivals Season 1 finally introduced the Fantastic Four, but with a twist – only Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman made the initial cut. Many players are eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Thing and Human Torch. Let's delve into their anticipated release.

Estimated Release Date for The Thing and Human Torch

A highly probable release window for The Thing and Human Torch in Marvel Rivals is February 21st or 28th. Season 1 commenced on January 10th, and NetEase's confirmation of a six-to-seven-week post-launch release for these characters points to these dates.

The first half of Season 1 successfully introduced Mister Fantastic (a strong duelist) and Invisible Woman (a strategic character requiring skillful play). It's likely The Thing and Human Torch will fill the vanguard and duelist roles respectively upon their arrival.

Season 1 also brought exciting additions: new maps, game modes, events, and a Battle Pass brimming with cosmetic rewards. While the Luxury Battle Pass track offers premium skins, the free track provides ample unlockable content.

We can anticipate the second half of Season 1 to possibly include further map and game mode expansions themed around The Thing and Human Torch.
