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: The Sanctum Sanctorum (available at launch for 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 decision to release the Fantastic Four together, according to Creative Director Guangyun Chen, resulted in a significantly larger-than-usual season, packed with twice the playable content. While this initial season is exceptionally large, the developers haven't commented on whether this will impact the future release schedule of new heroes, maps, or game modes. It's currently anticipated that future seasons will continue to introduce two new characters per release.
While the absence of Blade in Season 1 has disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content and the ongoing speculation surrounding the game's future suggests plenty more exciting developments to come. The stage is set for an epic first season in Marvel Rivals.
