Marvel Rivals' explosive launch, exceeding 10 million players in its first 72 hours, has left fans eagerly anticipating the arrival of Season 1, "Eternal Night," on January 10th. This season introduces Dracula as the main antagonist, fueling speculation about the inclusion of other supernatural Marvel characters like Blade. Confirmed additions include the full Fantastic Four, with bonus skins for the Maker and Malice, the villainous counterparts of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman.
But a recent discovery has sparked excitement among players: a possible hint at future content. A Reddit user, fugo_hate, highlighted a brief shot in the Sanctum Sanctorum map trailer showcasing a painting of Wong, Doctor Strange's mystical ally. This subtle Easter egg has ignited speculation that Wong, already popularized by Benedict Wong's MCU portrayal, might join the playable roster. His unique magical abilities would undoubtedly make him a compelling addition.
Wong's Gaming History and Potential in Marvel Rivals
Wong's presence in Marvel games isn't new; he's appeared in titles like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006), Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Snap, and LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2. However, a playable role in Marvel Rivals would mark a significant step for the character.
While the painting could simply be a tribute to Doctor Strange's ally, the Sanctum Sanctorum map itself is rife with supernatural Marvel references. Regardless, the arrival of Season 1, with its new maps, Doom Match mode, and the Fantastic Four, promises an exciting update. Players can jump into the action and explore the new content beginning January 10th.
