With the launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has thrilled fans by introducing members of The Fantastic Four to the game, although not the full team just yet. If you're eager to see when The Thing and Human Torch will join the action, here’s everything you need to know.
It's highly anticipated that The Thing and Human Torch will become playable in *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 will be introduced approximately six to seven weeks post-launch, we can pinpoint their arrival to these dates.
The initial phase of Season 1 brought Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman into the roster. Mister Fantastic delights players as a dynamic duelist, whereas Invisible Woman appeals to those who enjoy strategic gameplay. When The Thing and Human Torch join the game, they are expected to take on the roles of vanguard and duelist, respectively, adding more depth to team compositions.
Alongside character additions, Season 1 has introduced new maps, game modes, events, and a fresh Battle Pass loaded with exciting cosmetics for players to unlock. Opting for the Luxury track of the Battle Pass grants access to exclusive skins, while the free track also offers a variety of unlockables to keep everyone engaged.
It's plausible that the latter part of Season 1 will further expand the game with additional maps and modes tailored around The Thing and Human Torch, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
That covers all the latest details on the release of The Thing and Human Torch in *Marvel Rivals*. For more in-depth guides, tips, and information on the game, including explanations of terms like SVP and Ace, and insights into the rank reset system, be sure to check out The Escapist.
