When Do The Thing & Human Torch Release in Marvel Rivals?

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals has finally introduced the Fantastic Four, but with a twist. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman have arrived, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Thing and Human Torch. So, when can we expect these two iconic heroes to join the fray?

Estimated Release Date for The Thing and Human Torch in Marvel Rivals

The Thing and Human Torch are highly likely to become playable in Marvel Rivals on either February 21st or February 28th.

Season 1 launched on January 10th, and NetEase has indicated a release window of six to seven weeks for these characters after the season's start. This timeframe points to a release date within the last week of February.

Mister Fantastic, a fun and engaging duelist, and Invisible Woman, a more strategic character requiring skillful play, have already proven popular additions. It's anticipated that The Thing and Human Torch will likely fill the vanguard and duelist roles respectively, once added.

Season 1 also brought exciting new maps, game modes, events, and a fresh Battle Pass brimming with cosmetic rewards. Players can opt for the Luxury track for premium skins, but the free track also offers plenty of unlockables.

It's plausible that the second half of Season 1 will introduce even more maps and game modes themed around The Thing and Human Torch.
