Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Launch with the Fantastic Four!
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 complete team.
This supersized season will include:
- 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 Debut: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) arrive on January 10th. The Thing and Human Torch will join the fray in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
- Extended Content: Expect a significantly richer experience than previous seasons, although the developers haven't specified how this will affect the cadence of future updates. The expectation remains that future seasons will likely continue to add two new heroes or villains.
While the absence of Blade in Season 1 has disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content, including the highly anticipated Fantastic Four, promises an exciting start to Marvel Rivals. The future remains bright, with the possibility of more iconic Marvel characters joining the roster.
