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 redesign, featuring a sleek black and gray suit accented with a glowing blue circular emblem on the chest and back. A slate-colored mask, partially obscuring his face, incorporates a blue visor. Gameplay footage highlights the suit's dynamic properties, stretching and adapting as Mister Fantastic utilizes his shape-shifting abilities. This darker take on the character reflects his villainous turn after a disfiguring encounter with the Human Torch. He's not alone in embracing the shadows; Invisible Woman will also receive a villainous skin, Malice.
Season 1: Eternal Night Falls promises a substantial update, including:
- The Maker Skin: Launching alongside Mister Fantastic on January 10th at 1 AM PST.
- New Game Mode: Doom Match, a chaotic 8-12 player free-for-all where the top 50% emerge victorious.
- New Maps: Including a dark, dystopian version of New York City.
- Hero Balance Adjustments: Expect buffs and nerfs to various characters.
Beyond the officially revealed content, data miners have uncovered exciting teases, including a Lunar New Year skin for Spider-Man and potential cosmetics for Hulk, Scarlet Witch, and Doctor Strange. While release dates for these remain unconfirmed, many fans speculate their appearance in the Season 1 battle pass.
With a new game mode, maps, character balance updates, and the highly anticipated arrival of Mister Fantastic and his menacing Maker skin, Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is poised to significantly enhance the Marvel Rivals experience. The countdown to January 10th is on!
