The Marvel Universe is expanding with the announcement that the Fantastic Four will soon be joining the game Marvel Rivals. NetEase Games has teased the introduction of these iconic characters with a promotional image and announced that a new trailer will be unveiled on January 6, 2025.
The campaign celebrates the legacy of the Fantastic Four, who first appeared in 1961, making them a fitting addition as the first post-launch heroes in the game. The teaser promotional art shows a redesigned lineup featuring Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and the Thing, along with H.E.R.B.I.E., the team’s robotic helper, hinting that he may also be a playable character.
The timing of this release aligns with the upcoming cinematic return of the Fantastic Four in 2025, marking the team’s first MCU appearance after previous cameo roles. The film, titled The Fantastic Four: First Steps, follows a poorly received reboot from 2015, stirring excitement among fans.
To celebrate the surge in player engagement—reaching 20 million users—NetEase is offering a free in-game gift of a chibi version of Galactica until January 10. Additionally, the game has introduced a festive event, Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, along with promises of cross-platform progression in the future.
For ongoing updates and details, fans are eagerly awaiting the trailer launch on January 6, as these beloved characters transition into the gaming world.
