Expanding the Marvel Rivals Roster

The addition of the Fantastic Four brings Marvel Rivals’ roster to 37 playable characters, further diversifying the game’s already impressive lineup of heroes and villains. Their inclusion is perfectly timed to build hype for their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, releasing in July 2025 as part of Phase Six.

As Season 0, centered around Doctor Doom and his time-bending storyline, comes to a close, the spotlight shifts to Marvel’s iconic family of heroes. This fresh chapter promises engaging new gameplay opportunities and thematic content for players to enjoy.

Marvel Rivals Season 1 Launch

Season 1 kicks off on January 10, delivering exciting updates and challenges for both fans and newcomers alike. The game is free-to-play on PlayStation 5, Windows PC via Steam & Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X, offering an accessible entry point into the action-packed hero shooter.
