Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Debut
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 a direct result of the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four as a unified group.
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 the mysterious Central Park (details to be revealed later).
- The Fantastic Four's Arrival: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut with Season 1. The Thing and Human Torch will join the fray in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
- Extended Content: Expect a significantly longer season, roughly six months, compared to the standard three-month cycle.
While the expanded Season 1 doesn't explicitly detail the impact on future content releases, it's currently anticipated that the developer will maintain the pattern of adding two new heroes or villains per season. The absence of Blade in this initial wave has disappointed some fans, but the door remains open for his future inclusion.
With a wealth of new content and ongoing speculation surrounding this popular hero shooter, Marvel Rivals Season 1 promises an exciting and extended journey for players.
