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 (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 in Season 1, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the roster in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
The developers emphasized the significant increase in playable content, explaining that releasing the Fantastic Four together necessitated a larger-than-usual season. While no details were given on how this affects future seasons' content, it's currently anticipated that the pattern of adding two characters per season will continue.
While the excitement is palpable, some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of Blade. However, the possibility of his future inclusion remains open. With the abundance of new content and ongoing speculation, the future of Marvel Rivals looks incredibly promising.
