Marvel Rivals is adding four new characters to its roster this Friday, January 10, 2025. Four characters that you might say are, pretty fantastic.
Bad pun over with, the Fantastic Four is coming to Marvel Rivals on Friday, with the beginning of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls kicking off at 1am PT / 4am ET / 9am BT.
A cinematic trailer from developer NetEase Games showcases the loose narrative that surrounds this season, with Dracula and Doctor Doom plunging New York City into darkness thanks to pages from the Darkhold being scattered across the universe, so obviously the first thing Dracula and Doom thought to do was mess with the moon.
Now vampires are running rampant in the city and Doctor Strange isn’t around to help out because Dracula trapped him in a whole other dimension.
But with Doctor Doom involved, the Fantastic Four are stepping up to the plate to…hold a control point in a Domination match, most likely. Though, it would be interesting if NetEase took advantage of the storytelling potential they have just by using Marvel characters to install some limited timed modes that are perhaps more PvPvE or just PvE-focused. We’ll see how the rest of Season 1 folds as we approach the launch.
You can check out the trailer for yourself, below.
A cinematic trailer is great and all, but of course what players want to see is gameplay of how these characters will play compared to the rest of the roster. Thankfully players will be able to have their first look at Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic gameplay tomorrow, with popular streamers running a promotional stream to showcase the new characters.
