NetEase Games recently announced that The Fantastic Four will be joining the game's ever-expanding roster of characters, bringing the total number of heroes available to 37. While all four characters will make their debut during Season 1, they won't do so at the same time. The Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic will join Marvel Rivals first on January 10.

Marvel Rivals Leak Suggests a PvE Mode Could Be Coming
A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker surprises fans by suggesting a PvE mode could be coming to NetEase Games' popular hero shooter in the future.
In a post on Twitter, Marvel Rivals streamer mmmmmmmmiller also shared that Twitch Drops will be available with the launch of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. The rewards will all be focused on Hela, releasing a Will of Galacta spray, nameplate, and skin for the popular Duelist. Gamers looking to claim the Twitch rewards will be able to do so between January 10 at 12 AM UTC and January 25 at 11:30 PM UTC. In order to qualify for the cosmetics, players will need to link their Marvel Rivals account with their Twitch account. Then, gamers can make their way to Twitch and watch a Marvel Rivals streamer who has Twitch Drops enabled. Some players have expressed disappointment with this round of rewards, because Hela will be receiving a nerf in Marvel Rivals with the launch of Season 1.
A Marvel Rivals Streamer Reveals Twitch Drops Rewards
Twitch Drops:
- Hela [Will of Galacta] Spray - 30 minutes
- Hela [Will of Galacta] Nameplate - 1 hour
- Hela [Will of Galacta] Costume - 4 hours
The spray shows Galacta looking a bit stunned as she admires something off-screen and will require fans to watch a Marvel Rivals streamer for 30 minutes. The nameplate shows a deep blue version of Hela's armor and face with a purple backdrop and can be attained by watching one hour of an eligible stream. The Hela skin features a blue, purple, and teal color scheme and will require fans to watch four hours of a Marvel Rivals stream. This is the second character to receive a set of rewards on the popular streaming platform, as Marvel Rivals' Magneto was the focus of Season 0's Twitch Drops.
With Season 0 coming to a close, many players have been eager to learn more details about Season 1 of Marvel Rivals. NetEase Games recently announced that the season will launch with a new game mode called Doom Match, where 8–12 people will battle in a free-for-all. As players prepare themselves for an influx of new content, many fans have expressed excitement about the future of the popular hero shooter.
