Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Deep Dive into the January 10th Launch
Get ready for the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls on January 10th at 1 AM PST! This season promises a massive content drop, featuring new maps, a thrilling new game mode, a wealth of cosmetic items, and the highly anticipated arrival of the Fantastic Four.
NetEase Games has confirmed that Season 1 will boast double the usual content, a deliberate choice to ensure the full introduction of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing within a single season. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman will debut at launch, while Human Torch and The Thing will arrive in a substantial mid-season update.
A recently released developer video showcased the impressive new Midtown map, featuring iconic landmarks like the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower. Intriguingly, the video also includes subtle references to Wilson Fisk within the map's design, hinting at potential future additions to the game's roster. Another new map, the Sanctum Sanctorum, was also revealed and will be central to the new Doom Match game mode. The red, blood-moon-lit sky visible in the Midtown map's exterior shots adds to the season's ominous "Eternal Night Falls" theme.
The anticipation surrounding the Fantastic Four is palpable. Fans are particularly enthusiastic about the addition of Invisible Woman, a Strategist character, and Mister Fantastic, whose abilities seem to blend Duelist and Vanguard gameplay styles. The inclusion of these two characters, along with the new maps and game mode, has generated significant excitement within the Marvel Rivals community. The promise of double the usual seasonal content ensures a packed and engaging experience for players.
