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 launch, a move they felt added excitement and thematic coherence.
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 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 decision to release a double-sized Season 1, as confirmed by Creative Director Guangyun Chen, sets the stage for future seasons. While the impact on the frequency of future updates remains unclear, the current plan is to continue adding two heroes or villains per season.
While the absence of Blade in this initial wave has disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content in Season 1, coupled with ongoing speculation about the game's future, keeps the community buzzing with anticipation. The stage is set for an exciting journey into the Marvel Rivals universe.
