Marvel Rivals Season 1.5 Drops with The Thing and Human Torch!
Alright, Marvel Rivals fans, it's time to get hyped! The long-awaited Season 1.5 update is officially landing, and with it, two legendary members of the Fantastic Four—The Thing and The Human Torch—are making their debut in the game. Whether you're ready to smash through enemies with brute force or light up the battlefield in a blaze of fire, these new heroes bring some seriously exciting abilities to the mix.
Now, let's talk release times because I know you all want to jump in the second this update goes live. The update officially launches on February 21, and depending on where you are, here’s when you can start playing:
- 12 AM PST (West Coast, USA)
- 3 AM EST (East Coast, USA)
- 8 AM GMT (UK)
- 9 AM CET (Western Europe)
- 5 PM JST (Japan)
If you were hoping for an early Thursday night release, sorry to disappoint—everyone has to wait for the reset time. And for those of us in EST? Yeah, waking up at 3 AM for a game update might be a bit much, but hey, some of you are hardcore like that!

Now, let’s get into what these new characters can do.
The Thing is all about raw power. His “Rocky Jab” lets him throw rapid punches, while his ultimate , "Clobberin’ Time," launches enemies into the air. If you’re looking to charge straight into the fight, his "Yancy Street Charge" will bulldoze opponents while leaving a debuff zone behind. Plus, his passive, "Unyielding Will," makes him immune to knockbacks and other annoying crowd control effects. Basically, if you like to be an unstoppable tank, The Thing is your guy.
The Human Torch , on the other hand, is all about speed and firepower. His normal attack , "Fire Cluster," sends out splitting fireballs, and his ultimate , "Supernova," lets him explode into cosmic flames for massive damage. He can also create Flame Fields , which can be combined into a deadly "Pyro Prison" for trapping enemies. Plus, with his mobility skill, "Plasma Body," he can soar through the air, making him a fiery nightmare for enemies below.
While The Thing is a heavy hitter like Hulk, The Human Torch brings an entirely unique playstyle—definitely not just another Iron Man clone. The mix of aerial combat and fire-based crowd control is going to make him a serious threat in the right hands.
But before you get too excited, keep in mind that servers will be going offline for maintenance before the update officially drops. NetEase has estimated around three hours of downtime , so expect to jump in around midday if you're in the UK or early morning if you're in the US.
And of course, no big update is complete without some extra goodies! Season 1.5 is bringing fresh new outfits, including Trench Coat and First Family Thing , plus Negative Zone Gladiator and First Family Human Torch . On top of that, there's a brand-new map— Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park —and some cool tweaks to game balance, matchmaking, and even ranked rewards.
So, if you’ve been itching to jump back into Marvel Rivals, now’s the perfect time. Just be ready to fight for a chance to play these new heroes—because let’s be real, they’re going to get auto-locked instantly. See you in-game! 🔥👊
