Marvel Rivals is approaching the highly anticipated and elusive launch of Season One, but NetEase hasn’t been able to keep everything under wraps. Multiple characters have been leaked by data miners over the last few weeks, but now an official promotional visual confirms some of these leaked characters. Things look pretty fantastic for players, as the Fantastic Four headline the cover for Season One of Marvel Rivals.

Fantastic Four Leaked for Marvel Rivals

While the Fantastic Four have been featured in multiple leaks over the past few weeks, we finally have our first look at them, thanks to X0X_LEAK, a very reliable leaker for Marvel Rivals active on X. Earlier today, they shared what appears to be a promotional image for Marvel Rivals Season One featuring Human Torch, The Thing, Invisible Woman, and Mr. Fantastic.

We have taken a screenshot just in case it gets deleted:

Running the text through Google Lens, it says:

"Marvel Rivals Season 1 is Officially Launched: Magical brawl night"

This basically confirms the legitimacy of the previous character leaks, and according to X0X_LEAK, Season One is slated for January 10, 2024. This also lines up with the date the current Battle Pass ends.

Leaked Maps and Characters

Additionally, the New York-themed map seems to be a safe bet for Season One as it is featured in the promotional image above. There are plenty of other unreleased maps leaked by the same account including the following:

  • K’un-Lun
  • Collector’s Theme Park
  • Thebes, Egypt
  • Krakoa // Domination
  • Arakko // Escort
  • New York // Escort + Hybrid

Though, apart from New York, we’re unsure if these will actually be available during Season One. Similarly, X0X_LEAK has listed the following leaked characters apart from the Fantastic Four that will likely join Marvel Rivals during Season One or later:

  • Angela
  • Hit-Monkey
  • Deadpool
  • Captain Marvel
  • Emma Frost
  • Phoenix/Jean Grey
  • Valkyrie
  • MODOK
  • Blade
  • The Hood
  • Ultron

For now, the Fantastic Four are basically locked for the first season, and we’re interested to see how many of the characters above join the roster. We doubt all 15 of these will be added in a single season, but it’s nice to see the variety on display.

As always, any leak or rumor should be taken with a grain of salt. We don’t doubt that the image is legit, especially when the art style is consistent with previous promotional materials, but it’s always a good idea to wait for official confirmation.

Season One is still more than a week away from its potential release, and we recommend checking out our current tier list for all playable heroes in Marvel Rivals.
