Marvel Rivals released trailers for the Human Torch, the Thing and the new map

This week is shaping up to be monumental for fans of hero shooters. With Overwatch 2 kicking off its Season 15, Marvel Rivals gearing up for the second half of its Season 1, and Team Fortress 2 integrating its code into the Source SDK, it's an exciting time. But the spotlight is shining brightest 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 second half of the Fantastic Four, set to make their grand entrance into the superhero shooter this Friday, February 21.

Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, joins the Duelist class with a fiery set of skills. Not only can he soar through the skies with his ability to fly freely, but he can also unleash a barrage of flames, encase opponents in a blazing barrier, and summon devastating fire tornadoes that leave a path of destruction in their wake.

On the other hand, Benjamin J. Grimm, known as the Thing, brings his might to the Defender class. His abilities allow him to hurl teammates short distances for strategic positioning and send enemies skyward with a thunderous ground slam, showcasing his brute strength and tactical utility.

In addition to these thrilling character reveals, the Marvel Rivals team has given us a sneak peek at the new Central Park map, teasing its inclusion in the upcoming update.

Mark your calendars; the big update for Marvel Rivals is coming this Friday, and it promises to ignite the gameplay experience with these new additions.
