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 release.
This supersized season will feature:
-
Three New Maps: Explore iconic New York City locations – the Sanctum Sanctorum (launching with Season 1 and featuring the new Doom Match mode), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and the yet-to-be-revealed Central Park. More details on Central Park will be shared closer to the mid-season update.
-
The Fantastic Four Arrival: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut on January 10th. The Thing and Human Torch will join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later in a significant mid-season update.
-
Extended Playtime: Expect a richer, more expansive gameplay experience, reflecting the doubled content. While the developers haven't detailed the long-term impact on future seasons' content releases, the expectation remains that two new heroes or villains will be added per season.
While the absence of Blade in Season 1 has disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content and the promise of future updates keep anticipation high. The developers' commitment to delivering a substantial and exciting first season sets a promising precedent for Marvel Rivals.
