Marvel Rivals Unveils Season 1's Sanctum Sanctorum Map: A First Look
Season 1 of Marvel Rivals, "Eternal Night Falls," launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, introduces a thrilling new map: the Sanctum Sanctorum. This iconic location will serve as the battleground for the game's new Doom Match mode, a free-for-all showdown for 8-12 players where the top half emerges victorious.
Beyond the Sanctum Sanctorum, Season 1 will also add Midtown and Central Park to the game's roster. Midtown will feature a new convoy mission, while Central Park's details remain shrouded in mystery, promising a significant mid-season update reveal.
The Sanctum Sanctorum map itself is a visual spectacle, blending lavish decor with surreal elements. A recent video showcased bizarre details like floating kitchenware and a mysterious squid-like creature escaping the refrigerator. Winding staircases, levitating bookshelves, and powerful artifacts add to the mystical atmosphere. Even a portrait of Doctor Strange himself graces the walls, alongside a surprise appearance of Wong, a beloved character new to the game. Fans have noted the meticulous attention to detail, even down to Doctor Strange's ghostly canine companion, Bats, seen resting in the trailer.
This season's narrative centers around Dracula, who sets a trap for Doctor Strange. With the Sorcerer Supreme temporarily absent, the Fantastic Four step up to defend New York City. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman debut with Season 1, while Human Torch and The Thing are slated for the mid-season update. The anticipation for this content-rich season is high among Marvel Rivals players.
