NetEase Games confirms Marvel Rivals Season 1 will deliver double the usual seasonal content. Standard seasons typically span three months with a major mid-season update. Players can dive into Season 1: Eternal Night Falls starting January 10 at 1 AM PST.
Fresh details reveal Marvel Rivals' Season 1 will introduce three immersive New York City maps. Sanctum Sanctorum debuts alongside Season 1's launch, introducing the new Doom Match mode. Midtown map will host intense Convoy missions, while Central Park remains shrouded in mystery until the mid-season update.
Creative Director Guangyun Chen explained in a Dev Vision video that Season 1 contains "double the playable content of regular seasons." Launching The Fantastic Four together justified the expanded scope. Mister Fantastic joins as a Duelist and Invisible Woman as a Strategist when Season 1 launches.
Marvel Rivals Season 1 Doubles the Content
The Thing and Human Torch will join the roster during Season 1's mid-season update in six to seven weeks. NetEase hasn't clarified how this supersized season might affect future content cycles, but players can likely expect two new characters per season moving forward.
While Season 1 excites the community, some fans expressed disappointment over Blade's absence. Despite rumors linking the vampire hunter to Dracula-themed content, NetEase hasn't confirmed his inclusion. With continuous updates planned, future introductions remain possible as Marvel Rivals expands its heroic roster.
