Marvel Rivals Showcases New Midtown Map

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Deep Dive into New Content

Get ready for the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls on January 10th at 1 AM PST! This season promises a massive content drop, doubling the usual amount to accommodate the highly anticipated arrival of the Fantastic Four.

The season launch will include:

• New Maps: Experience the iconic Midtown map, featuring the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower, likely utilized in a convoy mission. A new Sanctum Sanctorum map is also slated for release, specifically designed for the innovative Doom Match game mode. The atmospheric details, including a blood moon and a possible Wilson Fisk building cameo in Midtown, hint at further narrative expansion and potential future characters.

• New Characters: Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman join the roster at launch, with Human Torch and The Thing arriving in a substantial mid-season update. The addition of Invisible Woman, a Strategist class character, and the hybrid Duelist/Vanguard potential of Mister Fantastic, has generated significant excitement among players.

• New Game Mode: Prepare for Doom Match, a new game mode utilizing the Sanctum Sanctorum map.

• New Cosmetics: A plethora of new cosmetic items will be available to customize your hero.

NetEase Games' commitment to delivering a substantial amount of content in Season 1 is evident. The developer's "Dev Vision" video highlighted their intention to introduce the entire Fantastic Four within this single season. Early previews of the Midtown map, showcasing holographs of the Fantastic Four in the Baxter Building and a Captain America statue in Avengers Tower, further build anticipation. The subtle inclusion of Wilson Fisk and Wong in the map designs suggests a rich tapestry of Marvel lore woven into the game's world.

The overwhelmingly positive fan reaction speaks volumes. The anticipation for the new maps and, especially, the Fantastic Four characters, promises a thrilling and engaging Season 1 for Marvel Rivals.
