Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown

Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown was the first new map to be released in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1, making its debut at the season's launch. This map is tailored for the Convoy mode, a payload-style game where players must either escort or halt a moving vehicle as it traverses the map. Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown joins Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path and Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands as the third Convoy map in *Rivals*.

Set under the eerie glow of Dracula’s Blood Moon, Midtown offers a dark rendition of New York City. The map features several Points of Interest, blending iconic Marvel locations with real-world Midtown Manhattan landmarks such as:

• Baxter Building
• Grand Central Terminal
• Stark/Avengers Tower
• Fisk Tower
• Ardmore’s Bookstore
• Timely Trend

Empire of Eternal Night: The Mystical Sanctum Santorum

The Empire of Eternal Night version of Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Santorum was added to *Marvel Rivals* in Season 1, serving as the exclusive map for the Doom Match mode. This mode pits players against each other in a free-for-all deathmatch, where the goal is to survive and eliminate opponents. Players finishing in the top half of the leaderboard at the end of the match earn wins, and the highest scorer is crowned MVP.

The Sanctum Santorum map presents a stunning depiction of Doctor Strange’s mystical abode, which has been his home and headquarters since its introduction in a 1963 comic. Famous for its appearances in the MCU, the Sanctum Santorum in *Rivals* is located in New York City and serves as a supernatural defense hub. The map is filled with secrets and Easter eggs, including supernatural rooms, impossible ceilings, portals, and an infinite staircase. Players can also interact with Bats The Ghost Dog on this map.

Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park

Details about the Central Park map are still emerging, as it is slated for release in the latter half of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1. Located in Manhattan between the Upper West Side and Upper East Side, Central Park has been a staple in various Marvel properties, most notably in the 2023 *Marvel’s Spider-Man 2* video game.

In *Marvel Rivals*, the Central Park map will focus on a stylized version of Belvedere Castle, situated at one of the highest points within the park. This Gothic architectural gem is expected to serve as a thematic hideout for Dracula, perfectly aligning with the Empire of Eternal Night theme.

These are all the new maps introduced in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1, each offering unique settings and gameplay experiences that enhance the Marvel-themed adventure in New York.
