Marvel Rivals Unveils "The Maker," a New Mister Fantastic Skin
Get ready for a villainous twist! Marvel Rivals has just dropped a sneak peek of a brand-new skin for Mister Fantastic: The Maker. This sinister alternate version of Reed Richards, hailing from the Ultimate timeline, will debut alongside the hero himself on January 10th, with the launch of Season 1.
The Maker skin showcases a dark, sleek aesthetic – black and gray with a striking glowing blue circular emblem on the chest and back. A slate-colored mask, featuring a blue visor, obscures most of his face, reflecting his transformation from hero to villain. Gameplay footage reveals the suit's impressive flexibility, stretching and morphing as Mister Fantastic unleashes his powers. This dark makeover isn't limited to Mister Fantastic; Invisible Woman will also receive a villainous counterpart, Malice.
Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, promises a wealth of new content beyond the exciting new skins. Prepare for:
- A New Game Mode: Doom Match – an 8-12 player free-for-all where the top 50% emerge victorious.
- New Maps: Including a dark, ominous version of New York City.
- Hero Balancing: Expect buffs and nerfs to various characters.
Beyond the official announcements, data miners have unearthed further intriguing details, including a potential Lunar New Year skin for Spider-Man and other unreleased cosmetics for characters like Hulk, Scarlet Witch, and Doctor Strange. While release dates remain unconfirmed, these leaked skins have generated considerable excitement, with many speculating about their inclusion in the Season 1 battle pass.
With such a significant update on the horizon, the anticipation for Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is palpable. The combination of new skins, game modes, maps, and balance adjustments promises a thrilling new chapter for the game.
