When you’re on top of the world like Marvel Rivals right now, you may as well just go for the freakin’ jugular. How about the Fantastic Four for Season 1 for starters?
As is the case with almost all the characters in the NetEase game, the quad squad look incredible, with a full trailer due on 6th January at approximately 8AM PST. This initial artwork already has over 40k likes on X (or Twitter), which gives you a good idea of just how big this game is right now.
We don’t really know what roles the Fantastic Four will adopt in the game just yet, but we expect Mr Fantastic and The Thing to be Vanguards. Some of the Human Torch’s abilities have already leaked, and they revolve around his fireballs, as you’d expect.
