It's an exciting week for fans of hero shooters, with major updates across the board. While Overwatch 2 kicks off Season 15 and Team Fortress 2 sees its code integrated into Source SDK, the spotlight shines brightly on Marvel Rivals as it gears up for the second half of Season 1. The anticipation is palpable, especially with the introduction of the Fantastic Four's Human Torch and the Thing, set to join the fray this Friday, February 21.
The Human Torch, Johnny Storm, steps into Marvel Rivals as a Duelist class hero. His ability to soar through the skies offers unparalleled mobility, while his fiery attacks, including shooting flames and encircling foes with a blazing barrier, add a scorching dimension to combat. Perhaps his most visually striking move is the creation of fire tornadoes, which promise to leave a path of destruction in their wake.
On the other hand, The Thing, Benjamin J. Grimm, brings his brute strength to the Defender class. His unique abilities allow him to hurl teammates short distances, facilitating strategic positioning, and to launch enemies skyward with a devastating ground slam, showcasing his raw power on the battlefield.
Adding to the excitement, the Marvel Rivals team has teased a new battleground, Central Park, which is sure to offer fresh tactical opportunities and visually stunning environments for players to explore.
With these thrilling additions, the big update on Friday is set to elevate the Marvel Rivals experience to new heights. Whether you're a fan of the Fantastic Four or just looking for dynamic gameplay, this update is not to be missed.
