Marvel Rivals Showcases New Midtown Map

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Sneak Peek

Get ready for the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls on January 10th! This season is packed with exciting new additions, including fresh maps, a thrilling new game mode, a wealth of cosmetic items, and the highly anticipated arrival of the Fantastic Four.

NetEase Games has confirmed Season 1 will boast double the usual content, ensuring all four Fantastic Four members make their debut within the season. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman will be available at launch, while Human Torch and The Thing will join the roster in a major mid-season update.

A recently released developer video showcased the impressive new Midtown map, featuring iconic locations like the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower. Intriguingly, the video also hinted at the presence of Wilson Fisk, a notable character not previously mentioned in the game, adding a layer of mystery and speculation about future content. The Sanctum Sanctorum map, featured in another video, will be the stage for the new Doom Match game mode. Both maps feature subtle Easter eggs, like a Fantastic Four hologram and a Captain America statue, respectively, and a Wong portrait in the Sanctum Sanctorum.

The Midtown map, likely designed for a convoy mission, is visually striking, with a blood-red sky and a prominent blood moon dominating the night sky. These atmospheric details, along with the subtle character references, have sparked fan theories regarding future character additions.

The community is abuzz with anticipation, particularly for the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. The addition of another Strategist class character is generating significant excitement, especially after glimpses of Invisible Woman's gameplay. Mister Fantastic's unique abilities, seemingly blending Duelist and Vanguard characteristics, are also a major source of anticipation. With such a substantial content drop on the horizon, the future of Marvel Rivals looks incredibly promising.
