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 expanded offering is a direct result of the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four as a complete team.

This supersized season includes:

• Three new maps: Explore iconic New York City locations – the Sanctum Sanctorum (available at launch for 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 roster in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.

The developers confirmed the Season 1 expansion in a recent Dev Vision video, highlighting the decision to release the Fantastic Four simultaneously as the reason for the increased content. While the impact of this larger-than-usual season on future updates remains unclear, it's anticipated that the pattern of adding two new heroes/villains per season will continue.

While the absence of Blade in this initial season disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content and the potential for future additions keeps the anticipation high. The excitement surrounding Marvel Rivals continues to build as players eagerly await the launch of Season 1 and beyond.
