Fantastic Four Join Marvel Rivals! First Trailer Date Announced

The iconic Fantastic Four are stretching into the hero shooter Marvel Rivals, and the first trailer is just around the corner!

Get ready, Marvel fans! The long-awaited hero shooter, Marvel Rivals, is about to get a whole lot more fantastic. Developer Dimensional Games has just confirmed the inclusion of Marvel’s First Family – the Fantastic Four – in their upcoming title. This exciting announcement comes hot on the heels of a reveal detailing the game’s first official gameplay trailer, slated to drop on October 26th.

The inclusion of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and the Thing promises to significantly shake up the already impressive roster of Marvel heroes and villains already confirmed for Marvel Rivals. Each member of the Fantastic Four is expected to bring their unique abilities and iconic powers to the battlefield, offering players diverse strategic options. Early leaks suggest Mr. Fantastic’s abilities will focus on tactical repositioning and area control, Invisible Woman will provide crucial support and defensive capabilities, Human Torch will be a high-damage, close-range fighter, and the Thing will be a formidable tank, controlling key areas with brute strength.

This news is particularly exciting for fans who have been eagerly awaiting more details about the game’s roster and gameplay mechanics. The Fantastic Four have been fan-favorite characters for decades, and their addition underscores Dimensional Games’ commitment to providing a rich and authentic Marvel experience. Beyond the Fantastic Four, rumors persist regarding other iconic Marvel teams joining the fray in future updates.

The upcoming trailer is expected to provide an in-depth look at the Fantastic Four’s gameplay, showcasing their individual skills and their synergistic potential as a team. It will also hopefully offer a glimpse into other aspects of Marvel Rivals, such as map design, progression systems, and potentially even a sneak peek at some of the other characters players can expect to see. Mark your calendars for October 26th; this is one Marvel event you won’t want to miss!

Dimensional Games has promised an active post-launch support schedule, regularly adding new heroes, maps, and game modes. With the addition of the Fantastic Four, and the upcoming trailer poised to reveal even more, the future looks incredibly bright for Marvel Rivals, and it seems poised to be a major contender in the hero shooter genre. The wait is almost over!

Ugh, another hero shooter? I’m so tired of the genre. Even with the Fantastic Four, I’m not convinced this will be anything special. We’ll see…

I’m cautiously optimistic. While the Fantastic Four are a great addition, I’m hoping the gameplay itself is as polished as the marketing suggests. The trailer better show some solid mechanics, not just flashy visuals.

Finally, some real strategic depth! The descriptions of each Fantastic Four member’s abilities sound fantastic (pun intended). Mr. Fantastic for zoning, Invisible Woman for support…this is shaping up to be a really well-designed roster.

This is a dream come true! I’ve always wanted to play as the Thing and now I finally will. The Thing’s brute strength is going to be so satisfying in a hero shooter. Bring on the 26th!

YES! The Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals?! This is amazing news! I’ve been waiting for a hero shooter with this level of Marvel authenticity. Can’t wait for the trailer on the 26th!

I’m incredibly disappointed. They’re adding the Fantastic Four, but the trailer isn’t showing actual gameplay! Clickbait marketing at its finest. I’m losing faith in this game already.

Sounds promising, but I’m worried about balance. The Thing seems overpowered on paper. Hopefully, Dimensional Games has considered this and will address it in the future if necessary.
Let’s see what the trailer reveals.

Finally, some good news! The Thing as a tank sounds perfect. I’m hoping for some really creative and unique abilities for each member of the FF, not just your typical ‘shoot and run’ gameplay.

The addition of the Fantastic Four is a huge step in the right direction. Dimensional Games has a real winner on their hands with this one. Let’s hope the trailer showcases the game’s overall potential and not just the FF.

I’m cautiously optimistic. While the Fantastic Four are amazing, the success of the game still hinges on the core mechanics. The trailer better show some polished gameplay and not just flashy cutscenes.

Mr. Fantastic’s repositioning abilities sound interesting. Hopefully, the Invisible Woman’s support isn’t just limited to healing. I’m looking forward to a well-rounded, strategic experience.

I’m a little disappointed they’re announcing the FF so late in the game’s development cycle. What about other heroes? Will the game’s launch be delayed again? I hope this isn’t a last-minute attempt to drum up hype.

OMG! This is the best news ever! The Thing is my favorite, and I can’t wait to smash some villains with him! Let’s hope they’ve made his abilities satisfying and impactful.

The trailer better not disappoint! I’ve been waiting for a solid Marvel hero shooter for years. The Fantastic Four are a great addition, but the overall game needs to be up to par.

Looks promising! The leaked abilities sound really cool, but I’m most interested in seeing how Invisible Woman’s powers translate into gameplay. I hope they’re more than just a simple shield.

I’m concerned that the game is too focused on well-known characters and not enough on original concepts or game mechanics. The trailer is make or break. The hype train is dangerously close to derailing.

This is amazing! The Fantastic Four are perfect for a hero shooter. I’m so excited to see how they’ll play and interact with the other characters. October 26th can’t get here fast enough!

I’m on the fence. While I love the Fantastic Four, the game needs more than just popular characters to succeed. I hope Dimensional Games delivers on the gameplay and not just the hype.
