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

Marvel Rivals Season 1: A Double-Sized Launch Featuring the Fantastic Four

Get ready for a massive start to Marvel Rivals! Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST, boasts double the content of a typical season. This unprecedented expansion is due to the developers' decision to introduce the Fantastic Four as a unified launch event.

This supersized season includes:

• Three New Maps: Explore iconic New York City locations: the Sanctum Sanctorum (available at launch for the new Doom Match mode), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and Central Park (details to be revealed later).
• The Fantastic Four Debut: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) arrive on January 10th. The Thing and Human Torch will join the roster in a substantial mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.
• Extended Season Length: Expect a three-month season, with a significant mid-season update delivering additional content.

While the expanded Season 1 content is exciting news, the absence of Blade has disappointed some fans. However, future seasons remain full of possibilities. The developers haven't detailed how this larger-than-usual first season will affect the release cadence of future heroes, maps, or game modes, but it's currently anticipated that two new characters will be added per season going forward.

The focus on delivering a substantial initial experience with the Fantastic Four sets a high bar for Marvel Rivals, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what NetEase Games has planned for the future.
