When Do The Thing & Human Torch Release in Marvel Rivals?

Marvel Rivals The Thing and Human Torch Estimated Release Date

It’s highly likely that The Thing and Human Torch will be available in Marvel Rivals on Feb. 21 or Feb. 28.

Season 1 started on Jan. 10, and since NetEase has confirmed that the two characters will release about six to seven weeks after the start of Season 1, we can conclude that they’ll be added to the game on the 21st or the 28th.

The first half of Season 1 added Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman to the roster. Mister Fantastic is a fun duelist character to use, while Invisible Woman is a strategist, who requires a bit more finesse. It’s likely that The Thing and Human Torch will probably fill the vanguard and duelist roles when they eventually get added to the game.

Season 1 also added new maps, game modes, events, and of course, a new Battle Pass with plenty of new cosmetics for players to grind for. You can purchase the Luxury track of the Battle Pass to gain access to a bunch of skins, but there are also plenty of unlockables on the free track as well.

With all that said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the second half of Season 1 also came with even more maps and game modes related to the two new characters.

And that’s all you need to know about when The Thing and Human Torch are releasing in Marvel Rivals for now. Be sure to search up The Escapist for more tips and information on the game, including the meanings of SVP and Ace, and how the rank reset system works.
