Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Launch with 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 super-sized season includes:
- 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 Debut: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) arrive on January 10th. The Thing and Human Torch will join the roster in a major mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
- Extended Season Length: Expect a three-month season, with a significant mid-season update delivering additional content.
While the developers haven't detailed how this expanded Season 1 impacts future seasons, it's anticipated that the standard of adding two heroes/villains per season will continue.
The absence of Blade in this initial launch has disappointed some fans, but the possibility of his future inclusion remains open. With the abundance of new content and ongoing speculation, Marvel Rivals Season 1 promises an exciting start to the year.
