While there’s no way of knowing exactly which skin could arrive with The Thing, it’s reasonable to assume that NetEase Games will release cosmetics for the hero within the shop.

In addition to The Thing, fans will soon be able to play as Human Torch in Marvel Rivals. It’s rumored that the famous member of The Fantastic Four will be able to create walls of flame, allowing him to control portions of the battlefield. Leakers also claim to have found evidence that he will be able to combine forces with Storm to generate fiery tornadoes.
