Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – New Characters, Maps, and Game Mode Unveiled

NetEase Games has unveiled exciting details for Marvel Rivals Season 1, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST. This three-month season introduces Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and The Invisible Woman (Strategist) from the Fantastic Four, with The Thing and Human Torch arriving six to seven weeks later. The Baxter Building will also feature prominently in a new map.

The Season 1 battle pass offers 10 new skins and costs 990 Lattice, but players earn back 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion. A key addition is the new "Doom Match" game mode, an 8-12 player arcade-style battle on maps like the newly revealed Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum. Only the top 50% of players achieve victory.

Three new maps are coming:

• Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum (Doom Match)
• Empire of the Eternal Night: Midtown (Convoy Missions)
• Empire of the Eternal Night: Central Park (Details to be revealed later in the season)

Central Park will launch in the second half of Season 1. While rumors of a PvE mode circulate, NetEase Games did not address them in this announcement. The developers emphasized their commitment to community feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (such as Hawkeye's ranged advantage) and promising adjustments in the first half of Season 1. The community is enthusiastic about the upcoming content.

Key Features of Season 1:

• New Playable Characters: Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch.
• New Game Mode: Doom Match.
• New Maps: Empire of the Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorum, Midtown, and Central Park.
• Battle Pass: 10 new skins, 600 Lattice, and 600 Units earned back.
