Marvel Rivals Unveils Season 1's Sanctum Sanctorum Map: A First Look
Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, introduces a thrilling new map: the Sanctum Sanctorum. This iconic location will host the new Doom Match mode, a free-for-all battle royale for 8-12 players where the top half emerges victorious.
The Sanctum Sanctorum, alongside Midtown and Central Park, expands Marvel Rivals' playable environments. Midtown will feature a convoy mission, while details on Central Park remain scarce, slated for a mid-season update.
A recent video showcased the Sanctum Sanctorum's unique blend of opulent décor and bizarre elements. Floating cookware, a refrigerator-dwelling squid-like creature, winding staircases, and magical artifacts create a captivating atmosphere. Even a portrait of Doctor Strange himself adds a touch of whimsy to this otherwise chaotic battleground. The trailer also features a cameo by Wong and Doctor Strange's spectral canine companion, Bats.
This season's narrative pits the Fantastic Four against Dracula, the main antagonist. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman debut with Season 1, while Human Torch and The Thing join the fray in the mid-season update. The meticulous detail in the Sanctum Sanctorum map design hints at the developers' dedication to creating an immersive and engaging experience.
