This week is shaping up to be a blockbuster for fans of hero shooters. With Overwatch 2 kicking off Season 15, Marvel Rivals gearing up for the second half of Season 1 in just two days, and Team Fortress 2 integrating its code into Source SDK, the excitement is palpable. However, the spotlight today is on the newest addition to the genre: Marvel Rivals.
The developers of Marvel Rivals have just released tantalizing gameplay videos featuring the Human Torch and the Thing, the final members of the Fantastic Four set to join the fray this Friday, February 21. Johnny Storm, known as the Human Torch, is classified as a Duelist. With his ability to soar through the skies, he unleashes fiery projectiles, traps foes in scorching barriers, and summons devastating fire tornadoes that leave nothing but chaos in their wake.
On the other hand, Benjamin J. Grimm, aka the Thing, anchors the Defender class. His brute strength allows him to hurl teammates across short distances for strategic positioning and to send adversaries skyward with a thunderous ground slam, disrupting their plans and turning the tide of battle.
Alongside these new heroes, the Marvel Rivals team has also teased a fresh battleground: Central Park. A glimpse of this new map at the end of the latest reveal has fans eagerly anticipating the strategic possibilities it will bring to the game.
Mark your calendars—Marvel Rivals is set for a massive update this Friday, promising to elevate the superhero shooter experience to new heights.
