Future Marvel Rivals Seasons Will Feature Half the Content of Season 1

Summary

• Marvel Rivals Season 1 boasts double the content of a typical season.
• This expanded season is due to the simultaneous introduction of the Fantastic Four.
• Season 1: Eternal Night Falls launches January 10th.

NetEase Games announced that Marvel Rivals' Season 1 will be twice the size of a standard season, offering a significantly enriched gameplay experience. Standard seasons typically span three months, with a major mid-season update. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls arrives January 10th at 1 AM PST, bringing players a wealth of new content.

This new season introduces three new maps showcasing iconic New York City locations. The Sanctum Sanctorum debuts alongside the launch, setting the stage for the new Doom Match game mode. Midtown will be the backdrop for Convoy missions, demanding strategic combat through city streets. Details on the Central Park map remain scarce, promised for reveal closer to the substantial mid-season update.

In a recent Dev Vision video, Creative Director Guangyun Chen confirmed Season 1's doubled content, explaining the decision to release all four Fantastic Four members together. Mister Fantastic (a Duelist) and Invisible Woman (a Strategist) arrive with the Season 1 launch.

Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Experience

The Thing and Human Torch are slated for the mid-season update, approximately six to seven weeks after launch. While NetEase Games highlighted the season's increased size, the long-term impact on future content additions (heroes, maps, game modes) remains unaddressed. For now, the expectation is likely to remain two new heroes/villains per season.

While excitement abounds for Season 1, some players express disappointment over the absence of Blade. Despite fan speculation and the seemingly perfect pairing against Dracula, his inclusion remains uncertain. The sheer volume of new content and ongoing speculation surrounding this popular hero shooter keeps fans eagerly anticipating NetEase Games' next moves.
