New content announcement for Marvel Rivals thrills many players. Fantastic Four is exactly what they have been waiting for
We've learned about the new heroes who will be coming to Marvel Rivals in the first season of the game. Players will soon take on the role of the famous Fantastic Four.
The hit shooter released at the end of last year, Marvel Rivals, like other live-service games, will be based on regularly released seasons, which will introduce a lot of new content. Among them will primarily be additional characters, and the first of them have already been confirmed by NetEase.

According to the post on X, it seems that the Fantastic Four will join the Marvel Rivals competition in the first season. It is possible that H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot, visible in the attached image, will also join them. At the moment, it's unclear if all the characters will be available in the game at the beginning of the season or if they will be introduced gradually as it progresses. We will most likely learn more details on January 6 at 8:00 AM PST, when a new trailer will drop.
The developers' post has met with enormous interest and has currently been viewed over 19 million times, and players in the comments don't hide their enthusiasm. It's not surprising, since nearly a month after its release, a lot of people are still playing Marvel Rivals. According to SteamDB, in the last 24 hours, at its peak, nearly 400 thousand players were playing the game simultaneously.
In mid-December, the devs also announced that the game had been tested by up to 20 million people. This result is impressive, and we can be sure that today it is significantly higher. Players also seem not to mind the fact that sometimes during the game they are connected not with real people, but with bots.
Marvel Rivals is available in a free-to-play model on PC, PS5, and XSX/S.
