The legendary Fantastic Four are gearing up to make their entrance into Marvel Rivals, and a fresh trailer has just dropped to give fans a taste of how Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman will leap into action in NetEase Games’ superhero shooter. In true superhero fashion, the quartet will be up against the sinister Dracula, who, in classic Marvel style, has cast New York into perpetual darkness and unleashed a horde of vampires upon the city.
Mark your calendars for January 10th at 4 a.m. EST/1 a.m. PST as Season 1 kicks off, bringing the Fantastic Four into the fold. This is when players can finally get their hands on Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny. However, just how these iconic characters will fit into the gameplay remains a tantalizing mystery for now. NetEase Games is keeping those details under wraps, but it’s safe to say we’ll know more as the Fantastic Four’s debut approaches.
If you’re scratching your head over Dracula’s prominent role this season or why a foreboding red “V” has replaced the Avengers Tower sign, let’s delve into this season’s storyline for Marvel Rivals. The plot dives into a New York shrouded in darkness due to the Timestream Entanglement, which strands Doctor Strange in the Entangled Astral Plane, scattering pages of the Darkhold. The impish duo, Dracula and Doctor Doom, have tampered with the moon’s orbit, casting the city into eternal night and unleashing vampiric forces. As doomsday looms, the Fantastic Four unites with other Marvel heroes, wielding science in a heroic bid to dispel the arcane shadows. Join the fight against Dracula with the Fantastic Four in this thrilling chapter of Marvel Rivals!
With the addition of Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman, the roster of Marvel Rivals swells to a formidable 37 heroes. Not too shabby for a game that’s just a month into its release.
Marvel Rivals can be enjoyed for free on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, making it accessible to gamers looking to embark on this new superhero adventure.
