The anticipation is building for Marvel Rivals fans, as NetEase Games has unveiled a sneak peek at what’s coming with the next update. On January 10, the Fantastic Four’s Invisible Woman will join the ever-growing Marvel Rivals roster, alongside new maps, an exciting game mode, and more, all coinciding with the launch of Season 1: Eternal Darkness Falls. Players don’t have long to wait, with everything set to drop at the stroke of 1 AM PST.
Upon Season 1’s release, fans will be thrilled to play not only as the Fantastic duo of Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic, but also look forward to seeing the Human Torch and The Thing bring their dynamics to the battlefield eventually. According to a recent developer video by NetEase, seasons will typically last around three months, with a significant update landing at the mid-season mark, six to seven weeks after the initial release. It’s during this update that fans can expect the full Fantastic Four lineup to complete.
Marvel Rivals has showcased the Invisible Woman in action, highlighting her strategic prowess. In the latest video, she stands out with her ability to both damage enemies and heal her teammates. Her skills are further showcased with knockback moves to manage space effectively and an impressive invisibility tactic for sneaking around valuable time. The gameplay also reveals her agility through a double jump, adding layers to her versatile combat style. Among her impressive skillset, she can generate a protective shield for allies and has an ultimate move that creates a zone of invisibility, disrupting enemy plans from a distance.
Turning to another exciting addition, Mister Fantastic slides into the limelight, demonstrating his unique abilities. The trailer unfolds his powers in a Duelist style, stretching to hit adversaries and boosting his defense. Fans are drawing comparisons to both Vanguard and Duelist roles due to his notable toughness compared to other DPS characters.
There’s a buzz around the introduction of the Fantastic Four into Marvel Rivals, albeit with a hint of disappointment. Fans had eagerly anticipated the arrival of Blade in conjunction with Season 1, especially with the announcement of Dracula as the season’s main antagonist. Files unearthed by data miners hinted at Blade’s character model and abilities, fueling hopes of his debut. However, players may have to hold on a bit longer before the iconic vampire hunter makes his appearance. Despite these slight letdowns, the excitement remains high for Marvel Rivals’ future content.
For those delving into Marvel Rivals, it promises an ever-evolving universe where players can team up with iconic Super Heroes and Villains. The game delivers action-packed 6v6 matches with collaborating powers and destructible environments that keep strategies fresh and engaging. With a comprehensive roster ranging from the Avengers to Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men, the possibilities for Team-Up Skills are endless. As each season progresses, new layers of heroes, missions, and maps expand the Marvel universe, ensuring the action never stops. With intricate play and continuous updates, Marvel Rivals is more than just a game—it’s an unfolding Marvel saga.
