Marvel Rivals Reduces Content by Half for Future Seasons

Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Launch!

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 thanks to the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four all at once.

This supercharged season includes:

• Three New Maps: Explore iconic New York City locations: the Sanctum Sanctorum (available at launch), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and the mysterious Central Park (more details to come).
• New Game Mode: The Sanctum Sanctorum sets the stage for the debut of the thrilling new Doom Match mode.
• The Fantastic Four Arrive! Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) join the roster at launch, with The Thing and Human Torch arriving in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.

The developers confirmed this extended season in a recent Dev Vision video, highlighting the excitement of introducing the Fantastic Four simultaneously. While the impact of this larger-than-life Season 1 on future content releases remains to be seen, the expectation is that two new heroes or villains will continue to be added per season.

While the absence of Blade in this initial wave has disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content and the ongoing speculation surrounding future additions keeps the excitement high. Stay tuned for more updates from NetEase Games!
