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 directly attributed to the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four as a unified group.
This supersized season will feature:
- 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 yet-to-be-fully-revealed Central Park (details coming with the mid-season update).
- The Fantastic Four Debut: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) arrive on January 10th. The Thing and Human Torch will join the roster approximately six to seven weeks later in a substantial mid-season update.
- Extended Season Length: Expect a longer-than-usual season, approximately six months, given the doubled content.
While the expanded Season 1 is met with excitement, the absence of Blade has disappointed some fans. However, the sheer volume of new content and the potential for future additions keeps anticipation high. The developers have not yet commented on how this extended season will impact the release schedule of future content. For now, the expectation remains that future seasons will follow a pattern of adding two new heroes or villains.
