Marvel Rivals: Thing & Human Torch Release Date Revealed

With the exciting launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has brought The Fantastic Four into the game, but only partially. If you're eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Thing and Human Torch, here's the latest scoop you need to know.

Marvel Rivals The Thing and Human Torch Estimated Release Date

It’s highly anticipated that The Thing and Human Torch will join *Marvel Rivals* on either February 21 or February 28. Season 1 kicked off on January 10, and NetEase has confirmed that these two iconic characters will be released approximately six to seven weeks after the season's start, leading us to those dates.

In the first half of Season 1, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman were added to the roster. Mister Fantastic offers a dynamic duelist experience, while Invisible Woman appeals to strategic players with her nuanced gameplay. It's expected that The Thing will fill the vanguard role, and Human Torch will likely take on the duelist role when they become available.

Season 1 has also enriched the game with new maps, game modes, events, and a fresh Battle Pass loaded with new cosmetics for players to earn. You can opt for the Luxury track of the Battle Pass for exclusive skins, but there's also a wealth of unlockables on the free track.

Given the momentum, it wouldn't be surprising if the second half of Season 1 introduces additional maps and game modes specifically tailored to The Thing and Human Torch, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
