When is the Fantastic Four Marvel Rivals release date?
The Fantastic Four are coming to Marvel Rivals in season 1, according to the leaked Chinese advertising poster of Marvel Rivals by Twitter user X0X_LEAK,
NetEase Games hasn’t announced when season 1 will kick off, although the game’s season 0 is expected to conclude on January 10, 2025.
As such, Marvel Rivals season 1 will likely begin a day after on January 11, 2025, which isn’t far away.
The studio has, however, confirmed that the Fantastic Four trailer will go live on January 6, 2025, at 8 AM PST / 4 PM UTC, which should hopefully reveal more details about these upcoming Marvel Rivals characters.
While NetEase has yet to reveal the roles and abilities of the Fantastic Four cast members, they seem to fit perfectly into Marvel Rivals’ various hero archetypes. For instance, Invisible Woman could be a Duelist like Psylocke who uses invisibility to sneak up on enemies and deal massive damage.
Likewise, The Thing could be a Vanguard like the Hulk who stays in the frontline and wrecks everything in the way.
It’s worth pointing out that the poster also includes the endearing robot, H.E.R.B.I.E, who could be a support unit.
Thankfully, the Fantastic Four trailer is on the horizon, so all rumors and speculations will be put to rest sooner rather than later.
