Marvel Rivals: Thing & Human Torch Release Date Revealed

With the launch of Season 1 in *Marvel Rivals*, NetEase has officially introduced the world of The Fantastic Four—but not quite all of them yet. If you're eagerly waiting for The Thing and Human Torch to join the action, here's everything we know about their upcoming arrival.

Marvel Rivals – The Thing and Human Torch Estimated Release Date

Based on current updates and the timeline provided by NetEase, The Thing and Human Torch are expected to make their debut in *Marvel Rivals* on either **February 21** or **February 28**. Since Season 1 officially kicked off on **January 10**, and the developers have stated that these two heroes will arrive approximately six to seven weeks later, those two dates are the most likely windows for their release.

The first half of Season 1 already welcomed Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman into the roster. Mister Fantastic serves as a versatile duelist, offering dynamic gameplay, while Invisible Woman plays more like a tactical strategist, requiring careful positioning and timing. Following this pattern, The Thing and Human Torch are anticipated to take on roles such as vanguard and duelist, bringing high energy and combat intensity to the battlefield.

What Else Season 1 Has Brought to Marvel Rivals

In addition to the new heroes, Season 1 has introduced a variety of fresh content, including new maps, game modes, limited-time events, and a brand-new Battle Pass. Players can choose to purchase the Luxury track of the Battle Pass for exclusive skins and cosmetics, or simply enjoy the free track, which still offers a generous selection of unlockable items.

Looking ahead, it’s likely that the second half of Season 1 will continue to expand on this content, possibly introducing new maps or themed game modes that tie into the unique abilities and personalities of The Thing and Human Torch.
