Marvel Rivals Unveils Human Torch Gameplay

NetEase Games has just released the first glimpse of Human Torch in action within Marvel Rivals. Alongside this fiery hero, we also have The Thing making his grand entrance when the significant mid-season update rolls out on February 21. As the first season, “Eternal Night Falls,” progresses, the Fantastic Four are gearing up to take on Dracula and save a devastated New York City.

This February update is causing excitement, promising a slew of changes in the popular hero shooter. Players should gear up for character rebalancing, shaking up competitive play dynamics. Additionally, expect a brand-new Central Park map under Dracula’s control. Moreover, there’s an intriguing twist in earning Units now, with a new option to convert excess Chrono Tokens into this valuable currency.

The recent footage on Twitter showcases the Human Torch’s gameplay, exhibiting his resemblance to Iron Man with his flying and flaming abilities. With the power to unleash fiery walls and slam down on adversaries, he adds a tactical edge by blocking battlefield sections. Teamed up with Storm, this duo can whip up flaming tornadoes, showcasing their formidable strength against foes.

It’s anticipated that Human Torch might debut with a special skin inspired by his stint in the comics’ Negative Zone, offering a hardened look to his normally spirited persona. We’ve seen similar moves before; Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic launched with darker, alter-ego themed skins, enhancing the avatars of these iconic characters.

NetEase Games has further confirmed The Thing’s role as a Vanguard, drawing parallel to the hulking might of Hulk himself. With an array of fresh content lined up, anticipation is building among gamers eager to see what twists and turns lie ahead in Marvel Rivals.
