Marvel Rivals has laid out just how many heroes the game will be getting and at what pace they will arrive going forward.

The next Marvel Rivals update is the mid-season update for season one, which introduces Human Torch and The Thing as playable characters. The update will also provide balance tweaks, new maps, and additional content, though full details have yet to be confirmed.

Marvel Rivals’ new season begins tomorrow, January 10, and there’s plenty to be excited about. Four new heroes are joining the roster, three maps are entering the rotation, and there’s a new battle pass of cosmetics.

Marvel Rivals is crushing its first season launch with hundreds of thousands of concurrent players across console and PC, and players are getting to know Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman as its two new heroes, with The Thing and Human Torch coming in a month and a half or so.

The Thing's powers look a lot like the Hulk's at first glance, but Marvel Rivals could easily make the two of them distinct fighters.

The first Dracula-themed season of Marvel Rivals has kicked off and will see the Fantastic Four added to the game. Two members of Marvel's first family, Mister Fantastic and Susan "The Invisible Woman" Storm, are already available, and the Human Torch and The Thing will join them at a later date.

The Marvel Rivals tier list is proof of an inherent truth: not every hero (or villain) is built equally. In the competitive shooter’s season 1 (which added two characters, two maps, a battle pass, and skins ), every character is technically viable, but there are some who are obviously more powerful than the rest.

NetEase Games creative director Guangyun Chen has revealed 'Marvel Rivals' will get a new playable character "each half of the season" - which will be roughly every six weeks.

Marvel Rivals is an exciting third-person shooter that somehow incorporates many heroes' and villains' different powers into one coalescing experience. The Unreal Engine 5-powered visuals make the action look spectacular,
