Marvel Rivals: When Are The Thing and Human Torch Arriving?

NetEase's Marvel Rivals Season 1 introduced Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, but left fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Thing and Human Torch. This guide provides an estimated release date for these highly anticipated characters.

Estimated Release Date:

The Thing and Human Torch are likely to join the Marvel Rivals roster on either February 21st or February 28th. This estimation is based on NetEase's confirmation of a six to seven-week release window following the Season 1 launch on January 10th.

Character Roles & Season 1 Content:

Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, released in the first half of Season 1, offer distinct playstyles: Mister Fantastic as a duelist and Invisible Woman as a strategist. The Thing and Human Torch are expected to fill similar roles, likely as a vanguard and duelist respectively, upon their release.

Season 1 also brought new maps, game modes, events, and a Battle Pass brimming with cosmetic rewards. Players can opt for the Luxury Battle Pass track for additional skins, while the free track still offers substantial unlockable content.
