Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Debut
Get ready for a massive start to Marvel Rivals! Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, boasts double the content of a typical season. This unprecedented expansion is due to the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four as a unified group.
This supersized season includes:
- Three New Maps: Explore iconic New York City locations – the Sanctum Sanctorum (launch day), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and the mysterious Central Park (details to be revealed later).
- New Game Mode: The Sanctum Sanctorum introduces the exciting new Doom Match mode.
- The Fantastic Four: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) arrive on launch day, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the fray in the mid-season update (approximately six to seven weeks later).
The extended season length, approximately six months, is a deliberate choice to showcase the Fantastic Four's arrival. While the impact on future season content remains unclear, the current plan is to continue adding two heroes or villains per season.
Despite the excitement surrounding Season 1, some players expressed disappointment over the absence of Blade. While his inclusion remains a possibility in future seasons, the abundance of new content in Season 1 certainly offers plenty to keep players engaged. The future of Marvel Rivals looks bright, with plenty more surprises likely in store.
