The Fantastic Four are making their grand entrance into Marvel Rivals, and there’s a fresh trailer showing off Marvel’s beloved first family in action. As players dive into NetEase Games’ superhero shooter, they’ll see Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman come to life on screen. Naturally, the Fantastic Four will be facing off against none other than Dracula, the infamous Marvel villain, who has cast New York into eternal darkness and unleashed a vampire horde upon the city.
Season 1 of Marvel Rivals kicks off on January 10 at 4 a.m. EST/1 a.m. PST, marking the debut of the Fantastic Four in the game. This is when players will get to interact with Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny. However, specific details on how these iconic characters will operate in gameplay haven’t yet been disclosed by NetEase Games. Fans can anticipate more information before the Fantastic Four-centered celebration begins on Friday.
Curious about Dracula’s menacing role this season and the eerie red “V” on Avengers Tower? Here’s the official storyline for the first season of Marvel Rivals, filled with vampiric thrills:
New York City is shrouded in darkness after the Timestream Entanglement ensnares Doctor Strange in the Entangled Astral Plane, scattering the pages of the Darkhold. Meanwhile, Dracula, alongside Doctor Doom, disrupts the moon’s phases, casting an eternal night and unleashing a swarm of vampire creatures. As the edge of the world looms near, the Fantastic Four unite with classic Marvel heroes in an epic struggle to dispel the mystical darkness using science. Gear up for an electrifying clash against Dracula with the Fantastic Four leading the charge in Marvel Rivals!
With the addition of Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Human Torch, and Invisible Woman, the Marvel Rivals roster now boasts an impressive total of 37 heroes. Not too shabby for a game that’s only been around for a month.
Marvel Rivals is free to play and available on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
