NetEase has unveiled the major updates for the second half of Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. On February 11, 2025, they announced the thrilling additions of Human Torch and The Thing, along with a rank reset, through an engaging blog post.

Mark your calendars for February 21, 2025, when the Fantastic Four lineup will be fully represented in Marvel Rivals. Human Torch will join as a Duelist, while The Thing will bolster the Vanguard class. Alongside these new characters, NetEase is gearing up for a significant balance adjustment that promises to "shake up the battlefield" during the latter part of Season 1. While specific details on these balance changes remain undisclosed, expect some superheroes to receive buffs or nerfs to complement the new additions.

Earlier in Season 1, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman made their debut as Duelist and Strategist, respectively. This season also introduced three new maps, special events, and a thrilling new game mode called Doom Match.

Each season of Marvel Rivals spans three months and is split into two halves, with each half featuring the introduction of a new hero. The current season's narrative revolves around vampires, spotlighting Count Vlad Dracula as the main antagonist, and integrates Marvel's first family—the Fantastic Four—into the storyline.
