As we first reported on GameFragger.com, a new trailer for season 1 of Marvel Rivals has been released, confirming that the Fantastic Four is coming to the game on January 10.
As well as promising multiple new New York maps, we get to see Marvel's First Family in action as Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and The Thing are finally all added to the game.
The event will be titled "Eternal Night Falls" and sees Marvel's First Family team up with their fellow heroes when vampires invade the Big Apple. The sneak peek ends with our first look at Dracula, the big bad of this season of storytelling.
Here's the official description for Marvel Rivals' "Eternal Night Falls" event:
Darkness engulfs New York as the Timestream Entanglement leaves Doctor Strange trapped in the Entangled Astral Plane, scattering the Darkhold pages. Dracula and Doctor Doom disrupt the moon’s orbit, plunging the city into eternal night and unleashing an army of vampiric creatures. With the world on the brink, the Fantastic Four join forces with iconic Marvel heroes, standing together in the epic battle to break the mystical darkness with science. Ignite the battle against Dracula with the Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals!
