A recently discovered Easter egg in the upcoming Marvel Rivals Season 1 has ignited speculation among players about the potential addition of Wong to the game's roster. The game, a multiplayer hero shooter already boasting over 10 million players in its first 72 hours, is set to launch Season 1, "Eternal Night," on January 10th.
Season 1 introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, leading many to anticipate a focus on supernatural Marvel characters. The inclusion of the Fantastic Four (with alternate skins for the Maker and Malice) further fuels this expectation.
However, a Reddit user, fugo_hate, on r/marvelrivals, highlighted a brief glimpse of a Wong portrait in the trailer for the new Sanctum Sanctorum map. This subtle detail has sparked fervent debate about Wong's potential future as a playable character and the exciting possibilities of his magic-based abilities.
Wong's Growing Popularity and Gaming History
Wong's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, largely due to Benedict Wong's acclaimed portrayal in the MCU. While previously a non-playable character in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006), he's since become playable in titles like Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.
The Sanctum Sanctorum map itself is brimming with references to the mystical side of the Marvel universe, so the Wong painting might simply be a tribute to Doctor Strange's ally. Nevertheless, the possibility of a playable Wong remains a captivating prospect for many Marvel Rivals fans.
Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night, launching this week, will feature three new maps, a new Doom Match mode, and the playable addition of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. The mystery of Wong's potential inclusion, however, continues to intrigue the player base.
