Marvel Rivals Unveils Release Date and First Trailer for Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four are making their debut in Marvel Rivals, and fans are eager to see how these iconic heroes—Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman—come to life in NetEase Games’ superhero shooter. They’ll be facing off against none other than Dracula, straight out of the Marvel comics, who has cloaked New York City in an everlasting night, swarming the city with vampires.

Get ready, because Season 1 of Marvel Rivals kicks off on January 10, starting at 4 a.m. EST/1 a.m. PST. That’s when players will finally get a chance to play as Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny. Although the exact details about how these legendary characters will perform in the game haven’t been shared yet, anticipation is building. NetEase Games is likely to unveil more insights about the Fantastic Four’s gameplay just in time for the big season launch.

Curious about why Dracula is stepping into the spotlight and why there’s a menacing red “V” adorning Avengers Tower? Here’s the breakdown of Marvel Rivals’ exciting first season storyline:

Darkness has overtaken New York as the Timestream Entanglement traps Doctor Strange in the Entangled Astral Plane, scattering the pages of the Darkhold. With Dracula and Doctor Doom meddling with the moon’s orbit, the city is plunged into eternal night, releasing an army of vampiric creatures. As the world teeters on the brink of chaos, the Fantastic Four team up with Marvel’s greatest heroes for an epic battle, using the power of science to dispel the mystical darkness. Join the Fantastic Four as they ignite the fight against Dracula in Marvel Rivals!

With the addition of Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, Human Torch, and the Invisible Woman, the Marvel Rivals roster now boasts an impressive 37 heroes. Not too shabby for a game that’s only been around for a month.

You can jump into the action with Marvel Rivals for free on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
