Marvel Reels Unveils Teaser Trailers for Human Torch, Thing and New Map Zone

This week is massive for hero shooters! Overwatch 2 just dropped Season 15, Marvel Rivals is on the cusp of its Season 1 second half (launching in just two days!), and even Team Fortress 2 received a Source SDK code update. But let's focus on the newest contender: Marvel Rivals.

Developers have unveiled gameplay footage showcasing the Human Torch and The Thing – completing the Fantastic Four roster – who join the superhero shooter this Friday, February 21st.

The Human Torch (Johnny Storm), a Duelist class character, boasts impressive abilities: free flight, fire blasts, a fiery barrier to encircle opponents, and devastating fire tornadoes.

The Thing (Benjamin J. Grimm), a Defender class character, offers unique support and disruption: short-range teammate throws and a powerful ground slam to launch enemies skyward.

A brief teaser at the end of the gameplay reveal also showcased a new map: Central Park.

Get ready! This major update arrives this Friday.
