Fantastic Four reunites in the upcoming Marvel Rivals update

The Fantastic Four's full reunion in this winter's hit game is imminent! Next Friday's major update to Marvel Rivals introduces The Thing and The Human Torch, adding powerful new characters to the roster.

A ranked mode checkpoint arrives in just 10 days, rewarding players with in-game prizes. Gold rank and above unlocks exclusive skins, while Grandmaster rank and higher earns a prestigious Crest of Honor.

However, a partial rank reset—a four-division demotion for all players—has sparked controversy. Many players express frustration at losing progress mid-season, potentially discouraging casual participation in ranked matches.

Developers acknowledge the negative feedback and remain open to future adjustments. If the community response remains overwhelmingly negative, a revision to the rank reset system is possible.
