It's an exhilarating time for fans of hero shooters, with major updates rolling out across the board. Overwatch 2 kicked off Season 15, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for the second half of Season 1, and Team Fortress 2 has been added to the Source SDK. But let's focus on the latest and greatest in the genre—Marvel Rivals.
The developers of Marvel Rivals have just released exciting gameplay videos that introduce the Human Torch and the Thing, completing the Fantastic Four's roster in this superhero shooter. These new characters will join the fray this Friday, February 21.
Johnny Storm, known as the Human Torch, is a member of the Duelist class. With his ability to fly freely, he can rain down fiery projectiles on his foes, encase opponents in a blazing barrier, and unleash devastating fire tornadoes that leave nothing but destruction in their wake.
On the other hand, Benjamin J. Grimm, the Thing, represents the Defender class. He brings a unique set of skills to the game, including the ability to hurl teammates short distances for strategic positioning and to send enemies flying with a mighty ground slam.
In addition to these new heroes, the Marvel Rivals team has given us a glimpse of the new Central Park map in a teaser, promising fresh battlegrounds for epic showdowns.
Get ready for the big update this Friday, as Marvel Rivals continues to expand its universe and enhance the gaming experience for all players.
