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 as a unified launch event.
This supersized season includes:
- Three new maps: Explore iconic New York City locations – the Sanctum Sanctorum (launch day, featuring the new Doom Match mode), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and Central Park (details to be revealed later).
- The Fantastic Four's arrival: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut with Season 1, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the fray in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
The developers highlighted the decision to release all four Fantastic Four members together as the reason for the extended season length, which is expected to span three months. While the impact of this double-sized season on future content release schedules remains unclear, the current plan appears to be adding two new heroes or villains per subsequent season.
While the excitement is palpable, some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of Blade. However, the possibility of his future inclusion remains open. With an abundance of new content and ongoing speculation, Marvel Rivals Season 1 promises an unforgettable experience.
