With the launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has thrilled fans by introducing The Fantastic Four, albeit not all at once. If you're eager to see when The Thing and Human Torch will make their entrance into the game, here's the latest scoop.
It's highly anticipated that The Thing and Human Torch will join *Marvel Rivals* on either February 21st or February 28th. Season 1 kicked off on January 10th, and given NetEase's confirmation that these two characters would be released approximately six to seven weeks after the season's start, it's safe to pinpoint their arrival to one of these dates.
The first segment of Season 1 brought Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman into the roster. Mister Fantastic offers a fun and engaging duelist experience, while Invisible Woman demands strategic finesse. The Thing is expected to take on the role of a vanguard, and the Human Torch is likely to shine as a duelist, adding exciting new dynamics to the game.
Alongside new characters, Season 1 has enriched *Marvel Rivals* with fresh maps, game modes, and events. The new Battle Pass is packed with a variety of cosmetics for players to earn. Opt for the Luxury track to unlock exclusive skins, or stick to the free track for plenty of rewards as well.
Looking ahead, the second half of Season 1 might introduce even more maps and game modes tailored to The Thing and Human Torch, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
That's the latest on when you can expect The Thing and Human Torch to debut in *Marvel Rivals*. For more insights, including explanations of SVP and Ace, and details on the rank reset system, keep an eye on The Escapist.
