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 group.
This supersized season includes:
- 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: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) arrive at launch, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the roster in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
The developers emphasized the ambition behind this expanded season, stating that releasing the Fantastic Four together warranted a larger-than-usual content drop. While the impact on future seasons' content remains unclear, the current plan is to continue adding two characters per season.
Despite the excitement surrounding Season 1, some players expressed disappointment over the absence of Blade. However, the possibility of his future inclusion remains open. With a wealth of new content and ongoing speculation, Marvel Rivals' future looks incredibly promising.
