While the specific roles for each hero in the game remain a bit of a mystery, it’s pretty easy to imagine where they might fit. The Thing, for instance, seems like a natural choice for a Vanguard role, given his formidable strength and resilience. Meanwhile, the Invisible Woman could likely slide into the role of a Strategist, thanks to her clever use of force fields and invisibility. It’s safe to bet that the Fantastic Four will offer plenty of team-up opportunities, not just among themselves but possibly with other characters like Namor.
With the introduction of four or more new superheroes in just one season, Marvel Rivals is on track to significantly grow its already substantial lineup. The game, as it stands, features a hefty selection of 33 heroes and villains, providing players with a diverse range of characters to explore.
The Fantastic Four’s entry into Marvel Rivals is perfectly timed, set to arrive roughly six months before they hit the big screen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming film, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” This movie is set to kick off Marvel Studios’ Phase Six and is scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 25.
For those eager to dive into the action, Marvel Rivals is readily accessible as a free-to-play game on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, providing plenty of ways for fans to engage with their favorite Marvel characters.
