Ask anyone who is the slogan of the matter, and, almost certainly, everyone will say at the same time, “It’s time!” That has only been a fact of the character for years. And, in the new movie Amazing Four: First StepsIt also happens, but with some twisting. A twist that comes to the video game Marvel rivals In some unprecedented synergy of play and film promotion.
As seen in a recent trailer for First steps, “It’s a dress time!” It is the in-universe slogan of the cartoon character of the case, but not the actual character played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach. In fact, he doesn’t like to say it at all, so his friends, especially Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), jokes with him about it all the time. This interaction of the film was now almost directly carried into the game, as seen in this new video footage, as part of a new team ability between human torch and the thing.
Things are heated!
Introduce a whole new team capacity: human torch and the thing!
Raise, Slam, and turn off with “First Steps” – launching on July 24, UTC!

In RivalsSpecial “team” skills unlock among certain characters when you have those characters on your roster. They are usually added to the game at the start or middle points of its competitive seasons, setting the balance of the current roster of heroes and encouraging new combos in your teams. For example, recently with the Launch of the third seasonJean Gray and Wolverine unlocked a particularly powerful team, which made Logan’s regular jump attack into a flaming, way of life, so passed that it has to reach hit with the nerf -evening.
But Torch/Thaing’s new team, literally called “first steps”, except being a big offensive move-by Johnny to carry Ben through the air before he dives for a disabled area of an effective slam-no is just a bonzo to your game. It is basically promotion for the movie. Is the first time Rivals did something similar to linking a great new movie instead of just adding new cosmetics, a disgusting eye to anyone who saw the movie or for players who will see the movie later. Maybe it’s even a relationship that could drive people from one resource to the other.
Seeing the movie, I won’t hurt whether Ben Grimm eventually says “It’s time!” As Johnny begs him to a middle dive bomb. But in RivalsOf course the thing says it all the time, whenever he announces his powerful ultimate move.
It’s not the only one First steps promotion occurring in Rivals This week, which will also see movie costume skins for all four members of the Fantastic Four added later this week, about which you can read more here.
So if you want to take that Wonderful four Experience to the next level, take over Marvel rivals For your computer or console and check the movie in theaters on Friday. We liked it very much.
