In an exciting development for Marvel Rivals fans, NetEase Games has just unveiled gameplay footage featuring The Thing. Alongside him, the fiery Human Torch is set to make a grand entrance with the mid-season update scheduled for February 21. This highly anticipated update will complete the Fantastic Four lineup, as they unite to face off against Dracula and his formidable vampire army.
One of the standout features of the upcoming patch is the introduction of a player-requested mechanic that allows excess Chrono Tokens to be converted into Units. This addition addresses community concerns from Season 0 about the inability to carry over battle pass currency into Season 1. Now, players can use their stored tokens to purchase cosmetics from the in-game shop. Furthermore, expect a range of balance adjustments that promise to shake up the game’s current meta for the latter half of Season 1. All these changes accompany the exciting arrival of Human Torch and The Thing in the beloved hero shooter.
NetEase Games chose Twitter to share a sneak peek of The Thing’s abilities. Known for his Vanguard role, The Thing boasts a dramatic charge ability, powering through foes with brute force. His synergy with Wolverine shines through, as he can throw the mutant into battle, a move that both surprises and devastates enemies. The Thing is seen dismantling structures, displacing terrain, and taking on adversaries with a massive health pool of 900, proving him a formidable tank in any skirmish.
Rumors swirling around the debut of The Thing and Human Torch suggest each hero will launch with a striking skin that adds a darker twist to their appearances. Drawing a parallel to previous releases, it’s speculated that The Thing might sport one of his iconic outfits, complete with a wide-brimmed hat and trench coat, reminiscent of his classic look.
As The Thing and Human Torch prepare for their Marvel Rivals debut, the community buzzes with speculation about future characters. Ultron remains a hot favorite, yet official artwork highlighting Blade has led many to believe the vampire hunter is next in line for the roster. With such exciting prospects on the horizon, fans are eager to see what lies ahead in the evolving universe crafted by NetEase Games.
