Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Launch
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 expanded offering is a direct result of 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 (launching with Season 1 and featuring the new Doom Match mode), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and Central Park (details to be revealed later).
- The Fantastic Four's Arrival: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut with Season 1, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the roster in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
The developers' decision to release the Fantastic Four simultaneously led to a significantly larger-than-usual season, approximately six months long. While the impact of this on future seasons remains unclear, the current plan is to continue adding two heroes or villains per season.
While the expanded content has generated excitement, the absence of Blade in Season 1 has disappointed some fans. However, the possibility of his future inclusion remains open. With a wealth of new content and ongoing speculation, Marvel Rivals promises a thrilling journey for players.
