Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Deep Dive into the January 10th Launch
Get ready for a massive content drop! Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls launches January 10th at 1 AM PST, boasting double the usual seasonal content. This ambitious expansion aims to introduce the entire Fantastic Four into the game.
The excitement is palpable. A recently released video showcased the new Midtown map, a vibrant location featuring iconic landmarks like the Baxter Building and Avengers Tower. These locations aren't just for show; the Baxter Building features a Fantastic Four hologram, hinting at the upcoming characters, while Avengers Tower displays a Captain America statue. This map is slated for a convoy-style mission.
Further fueling the anticipation, a new game mode, Doom Match, will debut alongside a new Sanctum Sanctorum map, featuring a portrait of Wong, another subtle nod to the Marvel universe. The developers explicitly stated the increased content load is to accommodate the Fantastic Four's introduction. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman arrive at launch, while Human Torch and The Thing will join the roster in a substantial mid-season update.
The community is buzzing. The addition of Invisible Woman, a Strategist class character, has generated considerable enthusiasm, as has Mister Fantastic, whose abilities seem to blend Duelist and Vanguard characteristics. The blood-red sky and blood moon visible in the Midtown map's exterior shots, along with a building possibly belonging to Wilson Fisk, have sparked speculation about future character additions.
In short, Season 1 promises an abundance of new maps, a thrilling new game mode (Doom Match), a plethora of cosmetic items, and the highly anticipated arrival of the Fantastic Four. The January 10th launch is shaping up to be a landmark event for Marvel Rivals.
