Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Launch Featuring 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 unprecedented expansion is due to the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four all at once.
This supersized season includes a wealth of new content:
- 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 Arrive: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut with Season 1. The Thing and Human Torch will join the fray in a major mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
The developers' decision to release the Fantastic Four simultaneously explains the season's extended length. While this initial season is significantly larger, the developers haven't commented on how this will affect future seasons' content. However, it's likely that the pattern of adding two new heroes or villains per season will continue.
While the excitement is palpable, some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of Blade. Although rumors circulated about his inclusion, his appearance remains a possibility in future seasons.
With an abundance of new content and ongoing speculation, Marvel Rivals Season 1 promises an unforgettable experience for players.
