On February 21, 2025, Marvel Rivals will see the completion of the Fantastic Four lineup with the debut of Human Torch (Duelist) and The Thing (Vanguard). NetEase is also gearing up for a significant balance adjustment, which they anticipate will "shake up the battlefield during the second half of Season 1."

Previously, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman made their debut in the first half of Season 1 as Duelist and Strategist, respectively. The season also introduced three new maps, special events, and a thrilling new game mode, Doom Match.

Each season of Marvel Rivals spans three months and is split into two halves, with each half bringing a new hero to the fray. The current season's narrative revolves around vampires, with Count Vlad Dracula as the central antagonist, and it features the iconic Fantastic Four, Marvel's first family and the first-ever superhero team.
