Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, titled "Eternal Night Falls," launches January 10th at 1 AM PST, bringing with it a host of exciting new content, including a brand-new map: the Sanctum Sanctorum. This iconic location will serve as the backdrop for the game's newest mode, Doom Match, a chaotic free-for-all pitting 8-12 players against each other, with the top half emerging victorious.
Beyond the Sanctum Sanctorum, players can also anticipate the addition of Midtown and Central Park to the game's map roster. Midtown will feature a new convoy mission, while Central Park's specifics remain under wraps, slated for a mid-season update.
The Sanctum Sanctorum itself is a visual feast, blending opulent décor with surreal elements. A recently released video showcases the map's whimsical details, from floating kitchenware and a bizarre refrigerator inhabitant to winding staircases, levitating bookshelves, and mystical artifacts. Even a portrait of Doctor Strange himself adds a touch of homey charm to this battleground. The trailer also offers a first look at Wong and Doctor Strange's spectral canine companion, Bats, adding depth to the setting.
This season's narrative centers around Dracula's sinister plot against Doctor Strange, necessitating the intervention of the Fantastic Four. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman join the fight at launch, with the Human Torch and The Thing set to appear in the mid-season update. The developers' attention to detail, evident in the Sanctum Sanctorum's unique design, promises a captivating and engaging experience for players. The stage is set for an epic showdown!
