The Fantastic Four are making their way into Marvel Rivals, and an enticing new trailer unveils how this iconic superhero team will spring to life in NetEase Games’ action-packed shooter. Get ready to see Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman as they take on their latest nemesis, Dracula. This formidable Marvel villain has shrouded New York in perpetual darkness, unleashing a horde of vampires upon the city.
The much-anticipated arrival of the Fantastic Four kicks off in Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, starting January 10 at 4 a.m. EST/1 a.m. PST. This is the moment when players can finally play as Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny. However, the gameplay mechanics of the Fantastic Four are still under wraps, with NetEase Games yet to spill the beans. We can certainly expect more details to be shared before the Fantastic Four-themed event kicks off on Friday.
Curious about Dracula’s starring role as the villain this season and why Avengers Tower now features a foreboding red “V”? Here’s the rundown of Marvel Rivals’ vampire-themed Season 1 storyline:
As a thick shadow descends over New York, the Timestream Entanglement sees Doctor Strange trapped in the mysterious Entangled Astral Plane, scattering the Darkhold’s pages. Dracula and Doctor Doom’s interference with the moon’s path casts the city into a never-ending night, setting loose a legion of vampires. With global catastrophe looming, the Fantastic Four band together with legendary Marvel heroes, united to dispel the mystical darkness using the power of science. Leap into the fray against Dracula alongside the Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals!
With the addition of Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman, the Marvel Rivals lineup now boasts an impressive 37 heroes. Not too shabby for a game that’s just celebrated its first month anniversary.
Available as a free-to-play title, Marvel Rivals can be enjoyed on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
