Today, Marvel Games and NetEase Games shared complete details for Season 1.5: ‘Eternal Night Falls’ for Marvel Rivals.
The continuation of the game’s first season will kick off on February 21, and The Thing and Human Torch from the Fantastic Four will be introduced as playable heroes.
A brand-new redemption system will also be implemented, allowing players to convert excess Chrono Tokens into Units.
The second part of Season 1 will also include a new map, ‘Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park,’ along with updates to competitive mode, tournament plans, and more.
Human Torch (Duelist)
Johnny Storm is the Fantastic Four’s resident hothead heartthrob, always looking cool while turning up the heat! Johnny joined his sister on a wild experimental space mission, hoping to visit the stars. Instead, he became the brightest star of them all, with the power to ignite his body as the Human Torch.
The Human Torch adds an intense flare to every battle with scorching flames. When he’s not busy burning Dracula’s legions with flames brighter than the sun, he’s soaring across the city to gather Chronovium and scavenge for parts of the Timestream Reintegration Device.
The Thing (Vanguard)
Ben Grimm originally signed up to be a pilot for his pal Reed, but he never imagined returning from the mission as an indescribable monster: The Thing.
Even though beaming cosmic rays transformed his flesh, a heart of gold still beats in his rocky exterior. As New York City plunged into eternal night, the Thing made it his mission to selflessly protect his home and lead missions to collect Chronovium by putting his piloting skills to the test.
The recent in-client tournament, the Marvel Rivals Championship (MRC), maxed out its Faction registrations in North America. After the upcoming update in the second half of Season 1, the MarvelRivals team will increase that limit. A series of Marvel Rivals Invitationals (MRI) will kick off at the end of February and continue into March, paving the way for the upcoming grand championship.
