It's an exciting week for fans of hero shooters, with major updates across the board. Overwatch 2 kicked off Season 15, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for the second half of Season 1, and Team Fortress 2 has been integrated into the Source SDK. But the spotlight today is on the newest addition to the genre: Marvel Rivals.
The developers of Marvel Rivals have just released thrilling gameplay videos featuring the Human Torch and the Thing, the second half of the Fantastic Four, set to join the superhero shooter this Friday, February 21. The Human Torch, known as Johnny Storm, is a member of the Duelist class. He brings dynamic gameplay with his ability to fly freely, shoot fire, encase opponents in a blazing barrier, and unleash devastating fire tornadoes that sweep through the battlefield.
On the other hand, The Thing, or Benjamin J. Grimm, falls into the Defender class. He adds a robust layer to team strategies with his ability to throw teammates short distances for tactical positioning and to launch enemies into the air with a powerful ground slam, disrupting their formations.
In addition to these new characters, the Marvel Rivals team has teased a new map, Central Park, which promises to bring fresh environments and strategic opportunities to the game.
Get ready for an action-packed update this Friday, as Marvel Rivals continues to expand its universe with these exciting additions.
