The developers of Marvel Rivals have just released thrilling gameplay videos featuring the Human Torch and the Thing, the second half of the Fantastic Four, set to join the superhero shooter this Friday, February 21. Johnny Storm, known as the Human Torch, is a member of the Duelist class. His abilities allow him to soar through the skies, unleash fiery projectiles, encase enemies in a scorching barrier, and summon devastating fire tornadoes that obliterate anything in their path.
On the other hand, Benjamin J. Grimm, aka the Thing, falls into the Defender class. His unique skills enable him to hurl teammates short distances for strategic positioning and to send foes flying with a mighty ground slam, adding a dynamic layer to team play and combat.
In addition to these new characters, the Marvel Rivals team has teased a new map, Central Park, which promises to bring fresh environments and tactical opportunities to the game.
