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 group.

This supersized season includes:

• Three new maps: Explore iconic New York City locations: the Sanctum Sanctorum (launching with Season 1 and featuring the new Doom Match mode), Midtown (for Convoy missions), and Central Park (details to be revealed later).
• The Fantastic Four's arrival: Mister Fantastic (Duelist) and Invisible Woman (Strategist) debut with Season 1, with The Thing and Human Torch joining the roster in a mid-season update approximately six to seven weeks later.

The developers emphasized the "double the playable content" aspect in a recent Dev Vision video, explaining their decision to release the Fantastic Four simultaneously as a key factor in the expanded season length. While the impact on future seasons' content remains unclear, the current plan is to add two new heroes or villains per season.

While the absence of Blade in Season 1 disappointed some fans, the sheer volume of new content and the promise of more to come keeps anticipation high. The future of Marvel Rivals looks bright, filled with exciting possibilities.
