Human Torch and The Thing Release Window in Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals has already confirmed that they will introduce a new hero every six weeks. So, the estimated release window of Human Torch and The Thing falls between February 21 and February 28, 2025.

In an interview with Metro, Marvel Rivals Game director Guangyun Chen shared their plans for their heroes’ release schedule. He stated that:
“We’ll actually be breaking down each season into two halves. The length of one season is three months. And for each half of the season, we will introduce a new hero.”
As per Guangyun Chen’s statement, it is confirmed that every season of Marvel Rivals will last around three months and will be split into two halves, following the same pattern as Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. Each half will introduce a new hero, meaning Marvel Rivals will release a new hero approximately every six weeks.
Considering Mister Fantastic and Invisible Women were released on January 10, 2025, with the Season 1 launch. The six-week gap suggests that the next hero release is expected in late February, between 21 and 28. Therefore, Human Torch and The Thing are likely to debut within this window, kicking off the second half of Season 1.
