The Thing and Human Torch Ignite Marvel Rivals: New Gameplay, Skins, and Mid-Season Update
2025-02-19 05:23:02NetEase Games has unveiled exciting gameplay footage of The Thing smashing his way into Marvel Rivals. Joining him in the upcoming mid-season update on February 21st is none other than the Human Torch, completing the Fantastic Four roster in the game. This fiery duo leads the charge against Dracula and his vampire army in a new chapter for Marvel Rivals.
The mid-season update addresses community feedback by introducing a highly requested feature: converting excess Chrono Tokens into Units. Players who accumulated significant Chrono Tokens in Season 0 can now utilize them for potential cosmetic purchases within the game. The update also includes a variety of balance changes that promise to shift the meta for the remainder of Season 1, further enhancing the competitive landscape.
NetEase Games has set a precedent of releasing darker-themed skins for characters like Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic (Malice and The Maker). Similar unique skins for The Thing and Human Torch are rumored to accompany their release, potentially showcasing a different side of these iconic heroes. Dataminers suggest The Thing's skin might feature his classic wide-brimmed hat and trench coat ensemble.
With The Thing and Human Torch’s arrival, speculation is rife about future additions to the roster. Ultron remains a popular contender, but official artwork of Blade has fueled excitement, suggesting the vampire hunter could be joining the fight soon. The future of Marvel Rivals is burning bright with new characters, features, and content on the horizon.
