Marvel Rivals Season 1: A New York City Nightscape of Maps
Marvel Rivals Season 1 continues to expand its offerings with a wealth of new content. Beyond the addition of Fantastic Four heroes and cosmetic items, the game introduces several new maps themed around a nocturnal New York City. Let's explore each one.
Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown
Launched alongside Season 1, Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown is a Convoy map designed for the game's payload mode. Players either escort or defend a moving vehicle across the map. This is the third Convoy map in Rivals, joining Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path and Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands. Midtown depicts a dark, Dracula's Blood Moon-infused version of New York City, featuring landmarks such as:
- Baxter Building
- Grand Central Terminal
- Stark/Avengers Tower
- Fisk Tower
- Ardmore’s Bookstore
- Timely Trend
Empire of Eternal Night: The Mystical Sanctum Santorum
Season 1 also introduced the Sanctum Santorum, Doctor Strange's mystical New York City mansion, as a unique map. This is currently the sole map featuring Doom Match mode, a free-for-all deathmatch where players compete for leaderboard dominance and MVP status. The map is a detailed recreation of Strange's home, showcasing its iconic features, including hidden areas, portals, and even a cameo from Bats the Ghost Dog.
Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park
Expected to arrive later in Season 1, Central Park will offer a stylized version of the real-world location, likely centered around Belvedere Castle. Its Gothic architecture will provide a fitting backdrop for the Empire of Eternal Night theme, potentially serving as a hideout for Dracula.
These are all the new maps currently confirmed for Marvel Rivals Season 1. Stay tuned for updates as more content is released.
