Marvel Rivals Season 1: Double the Content, Double the Fun!
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 supersized launch is due to the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four all at once.
This expanded season includes a wealth of new content:
- Three New Maps: Explore iconic New York City locations – the Sanctum Sanctorum (available at launch, featuring the new Doom Match mode), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and Central Park (details to be revealed later).
- The Fantastic Four Arrive: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut in Season 1, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the roster in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
The decision to release the Fantastic Four together, as explained by Creative Director Guangyun Chen, is the reason behind Season 1's extended length. While the developers haven't detailed how this impacts future seasons, it's likely the pattern of adding two characters per season will continue.
While the absence of Blade disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content in Season 1, and the ongoing speculation surrounding the game, ensures plenty of excitement for Marvel Rivals players. Prepare for an unforgettable first season!
